Teaching approach
Task-Based Learning
Was developed upon the notions of personal practice, independent learning, and individual
development. The task style of teaching allows students to develop at their own rate and in their
own direction. It empowers the student to take responsibility for their own learning and therefore
fosters the possibility of “deeper” learning across a range of different areas.
Advantages
1. Students who are experienced in a given area and therefore already competent are not
required to complete activities at the same level as beginners. This means that individuals with
higher knowledge and skill levels can be extended with advanced activities.
2. Beginner students or individuals with lesser skills are able to develop at their own rate and in
their own direction. This allows for a positive and non-threatening environment to be created
and therefore fosters ongoing participation within all curriculum areas.
3. This method can be very satisfying for the teacher as individuals are more likely to
experience success and the lessons are easy to control.
4. This method has the greatest potential to build self-esteem and therefore increase student
enjoyment. This will occur as a result of increases in performance coupled with the ongoing
experience of success.
