Usually, here in this country we will find most of English teacher in every grades teach their students with a very boring and uncreative way. what is it? yes it's just a conventional teaching where the teacher explain all the materials and the students just supposed to sit nicely and quietly while listening to the lesson. I bet studying like that will be such a torture for them. come on lets be honest who wants to sit quietly for like ninety minutes and forced to listen to such a boring lecture. its like shoving a bowl of chilies to kids. its so painful for them and even us. 

so what we, teachers, have to do is to get rid that old-fashioned way and use this TBL method. maybe some of you think 'dude, whats new exactly?! I always give them task after I explain the materials' or 'see all those homeworks i give them?? those are tasks!'. Yup, you guys are right those are tasks. but the one is wrong is how you used it. There are a lot of benefit if you use task in a creative way and there are like thousands of tutorial or hundred books which explain how to make a fun task for students to learn a language. 

For example, if we want to teach about how to make a procedure text why dont we asked them to make a food they like? make students work in a group then tell them to make a food they like then write down all the steps to make it. they can do or cook it at home but then they should bring the food to school then present it in front of the class and give the explanations on how to make it. after it, they may exchange their food with other groups. oh i can already imagine how fun it is.

So, whats the plus of learning like that? first of all, of course student will not feel bored anymore and they are going to feel more interested in learning English. the other benefit is they can understand and learn the procedure text easily and also practice their speaking skill when they do the presentation. It will also increase their confidence to speak in front a lot of people. the last thing but the most important one, they will also become more close to each other. 

See, there are so many benefit with only one task. just if you use it creatively. so thats why there is this task based learning method. I want all teachers, especially in my country, to use this method and be more wise in giving their students tasks. we can do a lot when we elaborate more our teaching style.
