By: M.M.C

Through the rise of modern technologies humanity's way of living is evidently influenced. In a general
perpective, the innovation of these complex tools is labeled as either boons and banes to the society,
economy and education. As we speak of these factors, the hiegtened technologies of which defines the
contemporary world serves a great assistance mostly to the education. Especially, during the midst of
pandemic due to the fact tha Education is considered as one of the fundamental foundation of life.
Consequently, most of the invented gadgets along with the existence of the internet in the present
times revolves to the purpose of serving as alternatives to learning necessities of every students.

One of the convenient and recognized modality due to the accessibility of technology is the online or
computer-mediated communication learning, of which, plays a vital part in bridging the distance
between learners and educators and to fill the gap that hinders the learner to enjoy the quality
education. For the information of the reader, this text aims to share writer's reflection regarding to the
significance of guidelines and principles for task design in CMC Learning. In addition, I also want to
mention the importance of the theoretical perspectives incudling The Interaction, Sociocultiral, The
Output and The Cognitive for tailoring the truthful claims that task-based instruction can provide a
productive result to students language learning development. As for the chief goal of this work, I am to
elaborate those hyphothesis and perspectives. First, Interaction hypothesis as to accord from the name
itself means that languange learning is an aftermath of involving onself into a discourse. Furthermore,
this theoritically believe that exposure into a educational conversation and opportunities can help
learners to the negotiate meanings and through that it will latter be resulting to comprehension.
Similarly, learners can create of new meaning and build knowledge not only through individual effort but
also by working with others effectively, which is claimed by Sociocultural Perpective. Enjoyable
experiential learning through participating and collaborating with the other learners can possibly cause a
long lasting learning effect and enhance the social and communicational skills naturally. In the field of
language acquisition, the achievement in english language proficiency is more on generating output or in
simpler term produce language through vocalization that is seen to provide an additional improvements
to the language learning process. Not just that, receiving a feedback is one of its identifying factor of
which the learners conciously and critically be awarec of their lacks in this concerns. Awareness of
absence might motivate learners to target improvements and betterment in many ways. Lastly, due to
the natural development of the child's intellectual capability the task should also be increased in level
covering the complexity of linguistic and cognitive for seizing a great improvements in language
acquisition.

Understanding the types and variables in task can help learners and teachers to widen their horizon
about the importance of various task. The types of task can nurture fluency, accuracy and complexity
depending on instances. Additionally, It can be distinguished based on solutions, starting point of
interaction, flow and source of information of which the computer-mediated communication can help to
conduct these types of tasks. These background will serves as guides to percieve that through varying
types of tasks ans activities it comes with its process and goal in language teaching.
