Exploring the role of task-based language learning in an interdisciplinary approach

Abstract

This paper examines the significance of Task-Based Learning (TBL) as a versatile pedagogical approach applicable across various disciplines, including language education, Zoology, and Art. It elucidates how TBL integrates real-world tasks into the curriculum, fostering active learning, critical thinking, and collaboration among students. Drawing on interdisciplinary principles, the paper presents a task-based lesson plan incorporating stages tailored for language courses and extracurricular activities. Through pre-visit preparation, during-visit execution, and post-visit reflection, students engage in authentic tasks that bridge multiple subjects, thereby enhancing language proficiency and deepening understanding of diverse topics. The paper highlights the importance of TBL in promoting holistic learning experiences that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries, preparing students for the complexities of the modern world.
