2. It gives the student a different way of understanding language as a tool instead of as a specific goal.
3. It can take teaching from abstract knowledge to real world application.
4. A Task is helpful in meeting the immediate needs of the learners and provides a framework for creating classes that are interesting and that can address student needs.
5. Authentic tasks are intrinsically motivating. That is, students attempt them because they see
that the task is, in itself, interesting and applicable to their lives.
6. Targeted real-world tasks have much clearer outcomes that can be more easily assessed,
unlike more general, or “open,” tasks such as having a conversation. For example, when a
person attempts to order a pizza on the telephone in a second language, that person knows if
he or she has “passed” or “failed” within a very short time—when the pizza does or does not
arrive, with the correct toppings or not.
•7. Real-world activities can be looked at and sequenced in much the same way as grammar
forms can—from simpler to more complex. For instance, ordering from a menu at a
restaurant is easier than ordering by telephone for several reasons—students can use
gestures, text and sometimes pictures; there is less information to convey (e.g., no address
or credit card number); students may resort to single-word utterances. In the same way,
telling a story is more complex than both examples above, because students now need to
