N2  - "The field of task-based language teaching has developed considerably since the publication of Designing Tasks for the Communicative Classroom (Nunan, 1989), a book which helped to set the research agenda in teaching methodology for the following decade. While Designing Tasks underpins this new title, the material has been thoroughly updated and includes four completely new chapters. Task-Based Language Teaching offers a comprehensive and up-to-date appraisal of the field."; "Le domaine de l’enseignement des langues axé sur les tâches s’est considérablement développé depuis la publication de Designing Tasks for the Communicative Classroom (Nunan, 1989), un livre qui a aidé à établir le programme de recherche en méthodologie d’enseignement pour la décennie suivante. Bien que Designing Tasks sous-tend ce nouveau titre, le matériel a été entièrement mis à jour et comprend quatre nouveaux chapitres. Task-Based Language Teaching offre une évaluation complète et à jour du domaine."
