Task Based Lessons
This collection contains complete Task-Based Learning (TBL) lesson plans designed for A1–A2 learners. Each plan is ready to use in the classroom and does not require additional materials beyond what is already in the classroom.
The lessons follow a clear TBL sequence:
- Pre-Task – introduce the language in context
- Task – students complete a communicative activity using the target language
- Post-Task – students share, present, or extend the task to consolidate learning
How to Use
- Flexible for any classroom: You don’t need handouts — these lessons rely on interaction, realia, and student collaboration.
- Supports fluency: Students move quickly from guided input into active communication.
- Adaptable: Plans are designed for young learners through secondary students, but they can also be adjusted for adult learners.
- Model Lessons: These plans can also serve as models for creating your own TBL lessons. Use the structure and sequence as a guide, and adapt it to any topic or target language you want to teach.
