초록
Although task-based language teaching (TBLT) has been recognized as an effective way of teaching English, it seems far less applicable to the Korean EFL context for many reasons. This study attends to the barriers to task-based language instruction in FL learning environments and suggests ways to incorporate online tasks into the EFL curricula. First of all, this study introduces and analyzes four online activities: Treasure hunts, Ask-an- expert, Webquests, and Virtual field trip, from a second language task frame (Chapelle 2000) to examine whether they are qualified as authentic L2 tasks from a TBLT perspective. Second, this study looks into how these online tasks are integrated into the existing curriculum with only minor modifications. The new software, Tasks Online in English Teacher's DeskTM, designed in this project is suggested as a solution that can reduce teachers' effort and time in creating online tasks. Some suggestions to working with current textbooks and curricula are also explained with some sample activities.
