  abstract  = {In the 1980s in the area of Second Language Acquisition we saw the development of communicative approaches to language learning. This was led by the utilization of the Presentation-Practice-Production method, which aimed to enable learners to acquire greater communicative effectiveness in their target language. There have, however, been doubts raised about whether the Presentation-Practice-Production method effectively reaches its own goals. This has resulted in a new approach called Task-Based Language Teaching which sets the task at the centre of language learning. According to this theory the primary goal of language acquisition is the ability to deal with a wide variety of tasks in the target language. Everything that happens in the classroom should be directed at accomplishing this target. This paper seeks to present Task-Based Language Teaching and its principles in the context of communicate effectiveness, to define the new roles of both learner and teacher and to examine some of the challenges which this methodology presents to everyone involved in the learning process.},
