Task approach is the methodology we use. It is one of the ways of working the communicative approach through task work and projects. For those who are not linguists and unfamiliar with this terminology, we will make a brief summary.
Task work is a structured lesson in which activities are sequenced. The students have to solve a task that incorporates authentic use of language, rather than answer grammar or vocabulary questions. It is about enriching the teaching technique with a greater number of practical activities, inside of class and, if possible, outside of class which helps students learn and understand a foreign language in the least mechanical way possible. These are activities in which the target language is used as a communicative way to achieve a result. The teacher will propose situations in which the student must express himself in the language he’s learning. For example, a teacher may send someone to a bike shop to inquire about mountain bikes and the student has to come back with a clear result: what mountain bikes are for, types there are, their prices, etc. and which model would be most suitable given the teacher’s requirements. Or a student may be sent to a bank to open an account.
