THE BENEFITS OF APPLYING TASK-BASED ACTIVITIES FOR 
SECOND LANGUAGE TRAINING
Task-based activities provide numerous benefits for both ESL learners and ESL 
instructors. First, task-based activities enable pupils to improve their ability to 
communicate in a second language. According to Willis (1996), this teaching 
strategy boosts learners' confident and independence, allowing them to achieve 
communicative goals. Nunan (2018) discovered that task-based learning help 
students actively engage with language in an authentic context, thereby challenging 
them to construct dialogues and turning them into autonomous learners. In addition , 
implementing task-based activities in classrooms serves as useful for ESL teachers 
in current language pedagogy (Solares, 2006). A task-based approach, which is 
student-centered, is likely to allow teachers to see if students are developing the 
ability to communicate in a second languge. Because of its interactive nature, 
students have more opportunities to use English in the classroom in the same way as 
they use their native languages daily, allowing teachers to make proper assessments 
(Lao & Krashen, 2018). In conclusion, task-based activities facilitates language 
acquisition in term of improving students' communicative competence and allow 
instructors to assess students' second language communication skill.
