Abstract

Task based approach in English Language Learning focuses on the application of better communication skills. It creates interests among the students. It is a highly communicative approach where students spend a lot of time in communicating with each other and also with the teacher. A study was conducted among the postgraduate students where the three stages-pre task, task and review stages were carefully studied and analysed. It was found that there was more meaningful communication among the students. It provided them for practical extra-linguistic skill building. It motivated them in fine tuning their language and furthermore helped them to succeed in presenting their project work and also in their job selection processes.
