The 7 principles of Task-Based learning

1. Integration: the form, meaning and communicative function of the items are learned in an integrated way.

2. Active learning: students learn an L2 best when they use it by performing a meaningful action.

3. Dependence between tasks: a task is built on the previous ones in a progression.

4. From reproduction to creation: students should progress from reproduction in L2 to creation in L2.

5. Scaffolding: support learning, understanding, production

6. Linguistic recycling: linguistic elements must appear in several tasks to be learned.

7. Reflection: students should reflect on their learning and results.
