A Critical Review of "Rethinking Task-Based Language Learning:what we can learn from the learners"

This paper will critically review an academic article titled "Rethinking task-based language learning: what we can learn from the learners" which was written by Assia Slimani-Rolls from European Business School London and published in Language Teaching Research 9,2 (2005). On one hand, there is of no denying that the article has the significance in carrying out the study--- it arouses people's attention to learner idiosyncrasy and learner perception of tasks while other most researchers just pointed out the importance and necessity of task-based teaching and advocated the effectiveness of CAs. On the other hand, there are still some problems existing in the study, from the research design to its analysis. The author will analyze them one by one and give her own understanding along with it.
