Task-based teaching is an American innovation aimed primarily at adult intermediate learners, opening new potential orientations for EFL learners and teachers in various aspects of learning and teaching Unlike other linguistic and structural syllabuses, the task-based language syllabus considers learners' needs According to Bğate (1999), tasks can systematically serve as a context to develop learners' knowledge about language, their ability to use it, and teachers' ability to teach it He asserts that tasks are essential for improving learners' fluency, accuracy, and complexity in communication Due to the numerous benefits of TBLT, the set of textbooks for secondary schools was approved by MOET in 2006, where communicative learner-centered approaches and task-based language teaching were adopted Students can participate in activities through individual, pair, and group work, allowing them to interact with each other.
According to Van et al (2006), departments of education and training in provinces and cities have declared that lower and upper secondary schools need to adopt a communicative approach and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) as suggested by various authors To implement this policy effectively, it is essential to conduct extensive research on the applicability of these methods.
The question of whether Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) is applicable in the teaching context of Thai secondary schools warrants investigation before any decisions regarding its implementation are made.
The application of a teaching method in a specific teaching context is feasible when three major factors are met: (1) there are textbooks or teaching materials that are friendly to that teaching method; (2) students have positive attitudes towards the features of that method; and (3) teachers are aware of that teaching method The first factor is satisfied because the textbooks for English as a second language are declared to adopt TBLT (Task-Based Language Teaching).

The first person to apply Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) to teaching programs and practice is Prabhu In 1979, while in Bangalore, Southern India, Prabhu began his bold experiments to implement his theories into practice, which were considered radical at the time According to Prabhu, students may learn more effectively when their minds are focused on the task rather than the language they are using (Prabhu, 1987) Therefore, Prabhu is regarded as the originator of TBLT.
The theoretical basis of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) is rooted in cognitive psychology, particularly in the "Learning Theory" that significantly influences elementary education Allwright (1977) stated that “If the language activities involve the learners in solving communicative problems in the target language, language learning will take care of itself.” Additionally, the other theoretical foundations of TBLT include Krashen’s “Input and Interactionist Theory.”
“ເ0mmuпiເaƚiѵe Laпǥuaǥe TeaເҺiпǥ”
Task-based language teaching emphasizes the selection of relevant communicative tasks that learners need to engage with outside the classroom This approach incorporates theoretical and empirical insights from social and psychological processes that facilitate language acquisition It aligns with the learning theories of Piaget's cognitive theory and Vygotsky's social constructivism, highlighting the importance of interaction in the learning process.
Piaget described overall development as the result of children's interaction with their environment, emphasizing the constructive nature of learning processes Individuals are actively involved in constructing personal meaning from birth, shaped by their experiences Vygotsky claimed that cognitive development and learning originate in a social context, asserting that higher psychological functions, such as learning, develop through interactions between individuals He highlighted the existence of a Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), where functions learned in a social dimension are transferred to a cognitive dimension This theory implies that a learner's development is influenced by social interactions and experiences.

The thesis on graduation projects emphasizes the importance of social environments in learning, particularly through Vygotsky's theories, which highlight the role of more advanced peers in aiding students' understanding Vygotsky's concept of the "zone of proximal development" suggests that learners can achieve greater cognitive potential with the support of adults or more knowledgeable individuals His theories, which build on Piaget's assumptions about child learning, place significant emphasis on the social context of education Vygotsky argues that the tools provided by culture, including language, shape how children make sense of the world The quality of these cultural tools greatly influences cognitive development, suggesting that adults, such as parents and teachers, play a crucial role in providing these resources Today, these tools also encompass electronic forms of information, further enriching the learning experience.
Supported by social-interactive and constructive theories, a social constructive model of the teaching-learning process emerges This model highlights the dynamic interactions between teachers, learners, and tasks, presenting learning as arising from interactions with others In this framework, learners are active meaning-makers and problem-solvers, engaging with tasks that involve input in the form of text or language These tasks require specific activities that learners must perform, alongside cognitive operations necessary to carry out these activities effectively Together with the other two key factors—teachers and context—they interact as part of a dynamic, ongoing process.

The thesis on graduate projects discusses the significance of Input and Interactionist Theory in language acquisition, as highlighted by Ellis (1999) Krashen emphasizes the importance of using language as a means to learn, rather than merely focusing on language skills through practice This suggests that language acquisition primarily occurs through engaging in communicative activities, rather than through traditional language drills Ultimately, effective language learning is a result of active participation in meaningful communication.
Language acquisition, as discussed in Krashen (1982), is a subconscious process that differs from the conscious learning of a language Unlike children who learn language naturally, language acquirers are not explicitly aware of the grammatical rules of the language Instead, they develop an intuitive understanding of the language through exposure and interaction.
Language learning can be likened to "picking up" a language, where the focus is on acquiring the ability to communicate In contrast, language proficiency refers to the conscious knowledge of a foreign language, including understanding its rules and being aware of them, which enables effective conversation Thus, language learning encompasses both the intuitive grasp of a language and the formal knowledge of its structure.
Krashepen emphasizes that language acquisition requires comprehensible input, suggesting that learners at level "i" must receive input at level "i+1." This understanding is facilitated by the cultural background of the language being heard or read, along with the learner's knowledge of the world Long (1985) points out some limitations of Krashepen's comprehensible input theory, arguing that mere exposure to input, even if comprehensible, may not effectively promote language learning When engaging with books, watching TV programs, or listening to radio broadcasts, learners often do not interact with the source of the language, leading to a lack of understanding of the message Long's considerations indicate that while accepting the comprehensible input theory, it is essential to study how input is made comprehensible His research shows that native speakers consistently modify their speech when interacting with non-native speakers.

Task-based language teaching enables learners to naturally acquire language through conversational interaction This approach enhances language learning in classrooms by closely aligning with natural routes of communication and achieving higher rates of language acquisition It provides learners with clear communicative goals, necessitating interaction to reach these goals, while also allowing for comprehensive input that facilitates language acquisition Increasingly, designers of communicative syllabuses are attempting to organize language teaching around specific communicative tasks Some classroom activities are often designed to focus on completing tasks mediated through language or involve interaction and negotiation of information and sharing of knowledge.

Task-based language teaching (TBLT) is recognized as a specific development within the broader "communicative approach" (Littlewood, 2004, p.1) Communicative language teaching (CLT) has become the preferred method for teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) over the past ten years While many general courses incorporate communicative goals, practices, or methodologies, the theoretical basis, according to Richards and Rodgers (2001, p.71), includes key characteristics that define this approach.

Engaging in tasks for oneself or others often brings a sense of fulfillment or reward Examples of such tasks include painting a fence, dressing a child, filling out a form, buying a pair of shoes, making an airline reservation, borrowing a library book, taking a driving test, typing a letter, weighing a patient, sorting letters, making a hotel reservation, writing a check, finding a street destination, and helping someone across a road In essence, the term "task" encompasses the myriad activities that people undertake in their daily lives, whether at work, play, or in between.
The prominent feature of the task in this definition is that a task can be either linguistic or non-linguistic When a task is converted from the outside world into a classroom, it becomes a pedagogical task According to Green (1987, p 23), a task is defined as:
Structured language learning involves a specific objective, an appropriate content approach, a defined working procedure, and a range of outcomes for graduate theses, master's theses, and graduation theses.
Thesis and graduation project documents are essential for master's degree candidates These materials guide students through their academic tasks, which encompass a variety of work plans A master's thesis is a critical component of graduate studies, reflecting the culmination of research and learning.
The thesis for a master's degree focuses on the overall purposes of facilitating language learning, ranging from simple and brief exercises to more complex and lengthy activities, such as group problem-solving or simulations and decision-making tasks.
This definition is quite broad, suggesting that any activity a learner engages in within the classroom can be classified as a task It could, in fact, be used to justify any procedure as "task-based," which may not be particularly helpful Additionally, Punan.

One of the key definitions of tasks advanced among researchers is provided by Willis (1996), who states that "tasks are always activities where the target language is used by the learner for a communicative purpose (goal) in order to achieve an outcome" (p 23) Building on Green's (1987) definition, Littlejohn (1998) proposed a broader definition: "A task refers to any proposal contained within the materials for a lesson to be undertaken by the learners, which has the direct aim of bringing about the learning of the foreign language" (p 198).
The definition of teaching encompasses three key aspects: process, participation, and content The process refers to the journey that both teachers and learners undertake, while classroom participation involves the interactions between learners and their peers during this journey Content represents the material that learners focus on (Littlejohn, 1998).

A work plan that requires learners to progress language pragmatically is essential for achieving outcomes that can be evaluated in terms of appropriateness This necessitates giving primary attention to meaning and utilizing their own linguistic resources, even though the task design may predispose them to choose particular forms A task is intended to result in language use that bears a resemblance, either directly or indirectly, to how language is employed in real-world contexts Like other language activities, a task can engage productive or receptive skills, as well as various cognitive processes.
Luận văn đồ án tốt nghiệp Tài liệu luận văn thạc sĩ cao học Luận văn thạc sỹ
Ellis's (2003) definition is quite pragmatic as it encompasses attention to meaning and engagement with grammar, in addition to other major points in language teaching This includes the inclusion of pragmatic properties, the use of authentic language, and cognitive processes.
In summary, while these definitions may vary somewhat, they all emphasize the fact that tasks involve communicative language use, where the user's attention is focused on meaning rather than grammatical form However, this does not mean that form is unimportant.
According to Pупап (2006), I fully agree with Һuпǥ (2012) that a task in teaching and learning is goal-oriented, meaning it is focused first on the goal and then on the form It is implemented by students through a clear procedure or mechanism in combination with sufficient authenticity and comprehensible input Task doing occurs through interactions, either in pairs or small groups, where their own experiences of the target language are explored, ultimately assessing the completeness through the outcome.
In the literature on TBLT, various attempts have been made to categorize group tasks as a foundation for task design and description However, for the purpose of this section, only a few types are described According to Prabhu, cited in Punan (2004, p 56), three types of tasks are identified: information gap, reasoning gap, and opinion gap.

Willis (1996) emphasizes that "learners are free to choose whatever language forms they wish to convey what they mean, in order to fulfill the task goal" (p 24) This highlights the importance of learner autonomy in language acquisition Key features mentioned in TBL by Willis support this notion, reinforcing the idea that flexibility in language use enhances the learning process.

To summarize, all features of TBLT demonstrate that learners can effectively use language as a means to achieve desired outcomes Additionally, real-life tasks are transformed into pedagogical tasks, allowing students to engage in negotiation of meaning through interactive activities Finally, students participate in three stages of learning to successfully complete tasks.
The TBLT framework, as discussed by A.0гdiпǥ (2012), is a favored approach for sequencing elements within tasks proposed by researchers and methodologists Numerous TBLT frameworks are documented in the literature, including those by Willis (1996), Skehan (1996), and Punan (2003), which generally suggest that task implementation or completion involves three stages: pre-task, task, and post-task However, only the TBLT framework from Willis, specifically designed for English text books for secondary school, is mentioned below.

Graduation thesis documents, particularly master's theses, often present challenges for students in understanding complex topics To assist students, it is essential to help them recall and utilize relevant words and phrases that will be beneficial both during their studies and beyond the classroom Additionally, educators should introduce key vocabulary and phrases that students may not be familiar with, which are typically presented and illustrated in textbooks (Willis, 1996, p.42-43).

In the task stage, students gain fluency and confidence in themselves as communicators However, because it is a private situation where meaning is paramount, real-time communication often allows for little concern regarding grammatical accuracy.

The mixed research method is essential for exploring students' attitudes towards factors related to Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), while case studies aid in investigating teachers' perceptions of TBLT According to Hung (2012), neither quantitative nor qualitative methods alone are sufficient to capture the trends and details of a situation (p 166).
Mixed approaches that combine observations and interviews (qualitative data) are integrated with traditional questionnaire surveys (quantitative data) to mitigate the limitations of using methods in isolation The inherent biases in any single method can be neutralized by incorporating other methods, enhancing the overall validity of the research findings.

A total of 300 students were randomly selected from over 940 students at a Thai secondary school, comprising 126 males and 174 females, with ages ranging from 15 to 20 years Most students (69.7%) lived in rural areas, followed by mountainous (24%) and isolated mountainous areas (4.7%), while only 1% resided in urban areas Additionally, 70.2% of the students came from families with informal living standards, whereas 14.8% reported poor living conditions and 15% lived in high living standards Notably, 95.6% of the students had parents who were peasants, with only 4.3% having parents in other occupations such as workers, dealers, or state officers Approximately 3.4% of respondents were omitted by the SPSS, and interestingly, 71% of them had been learning English for more than 9 years.
Approximately 24.7% of respondents have learned English for 7 to 9 years, while the remaining 4.3% have studied the language for less than 6 years Table 4 provides a summary of the background information of students, including their gender, age, and living conditions.

According to Sum Uρ, Smith, and Brown (1995), the purposes of questionnaires are to uncover facts, gather respondents' opinions or attitudes, assess their abilities, and evaluate various aspects These objectives align with the need for research that explores students' attitudes toward Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) at TҺSS The questionnaire was adapted from Hung's (2012) study, chosen for its relevance to domains in TBLT as applied in accordance with Willis' perspective, which is one of the core approaches utilized by the authors of the current set of textbooks in secondary schools The questionnaire consists of two main sections: the first includes six open-ended questions to collect students' background information, while the second contains 47 Likert-type items using a 5-point scale.
The study utilized both English and Vietnamese to ensure students clearly understood the items presented It consisted of four parts: the first part focused on questions aimed at gauging students' attitudes toward language teaching The second part included questions to assess students' attitudes toward the features of teaching The third and fourth sections comprised questions regarding students' attitudes toward the stages and techniques of teaching.
