Description: This book aims to offer a unique contribution to the expanding literature on TBLT by uniting a discussion of task-based pedagogical principles with descriptions of their application to real-life education problems. It provides an account of the many challenges and obstacles that the implementation of task-based language education raises and discuss the different options for overcoming them. The book contains a substantial body of new research from Flanders, where the implementation of TBLT has been a nationwide project for the past fifteen years in primary, secondary, and adult education. -- Back cover
