| description | The present study aimed to examine EFL teachers' perceptions of task-based language
teaching (TBLT) in Iranian context. The data for the study were collected through questionnaires from
a total of 160 teachers at 20 different language institutes in Iran. The data were analyzed quantitatively
and qualitatively. The findings of the study showed that the majority of Iranian EFL teachers have a
clear understanding about TBLT concepts. However, there exist some negative views about
implementing TBLT with regard to its classroom practice. Based on the findings, some pedagogical
suggestions have been offered which can help teachers and teacher-trainers to design and implement
TBLT more effectively in Iranian context. |
