Students’ Reactions to Task-based Learning

Abstract

In recent years, task-based teaching has received a great deal of attention both in the literature and in real situations, especially at university level. Task-based instruction is claimed to be a very effective and powerful approach to learning. However, task-based learning may be difficult to implement with Thai students who are accustomed to traditional types of classroom learning and who may be resistant to innovation. This paper examines the reactions of students coming from traditional learning backgrounds to task-based teaching.
