FROM TASK-SUPPORTED TEACHING TO TASK-BASED LEARNING THE CASE OF JAPANESE LANGUAGE TEACHING IN ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: Speaking a foreign language is a must in today’s globalized world. Placing one of the most recent teaching approaches – task-based learning (TBL) – in the context of the development of teaching methods and approaches over the years, our paper presents and analyzes the difficulties encountered by teachers in understanding and employing this particular method. We briefly present the main teaching approaches from a conceptual perspective, with a special focus on the objectives and on the characteristics of TBL. Furthermore, we analyze the particular case of the Japanese language teaching and learning in Romania and the difficulties that the Romanian teachers of Japanese encounter when they attempt to use TBL in their classes.
