What happens when language learning breaks free from worksheets and grammar drills — and becomes something students actually use to solve real problems, plan real events, and communicate with real purpose? In this episode, we explore the true power of Task-Based Learning (TBL) — not just as a method, but as a mindset.
Join us as we travel from classrooms in Bogotá to startups in Seoul and virtual refugee programs across Europe, uncovering how teachers are using TBL to spark engagement, develop fluency, and connect language learning with life itself. You'll hear real-world examples, science-backed research, and practical tips for implementing task-based learning — whether you're teaching kids, adults, or professionals online or in person.
This episode is for anyone ready to rethink the way language is taught… and truly experienced.
Key topics include:
The core principles of Task-Based Learning
Case studies from around the world
Why TBL works (and when it doesn’t)
Realistic solutions to common challenges
Tips to bring TBL into any classroom setting
Whether you’re a seasoned educator or just curious about alternative language teaching approaches, this episode will give you a fresh, powerful lens on what language learning can become.
"Language isn’t meant to live on worksheets. It’s meant to live in the world."
