Under the auspices of the International Association for Task-Based Language Teaching (IATBLT), the 2022 TBLT organizing committee is looking forward to welcoming you to the 9th International Conference on Task-Based Language Teaching in Innsbruck, Austria. The conference will be a face-toface event, in accordance with current COVID 19 safety regulations. Be assured that we are keeping a close eye on the circumstances and will make appropriate decisions regarding the conference in line with the most up-to-date information.
From 29 to 31 August 2022, the conference will bring together scholars and educators from all around the world who are interested in discussing both established and innovative approaches to TBLT. Inspired by the surrounding mountains, the conference will encourage us to both strengthen our understanding of the solid grounds of TBLT and to reach for new summits by “Widening the Horizon of Task-Based Language Teaching”.
The conference will focus on well-established TBLT approaches in second and foreign language classrooms as well as on transferring TBLT to other educational contexts and subjects including science education. Furthermore, task-based assessment and its implication for the (language) testing community will be addressed. The plenary speakers will touch on Second Language Acquisition and TBLT, the Teacher Variable in TBLT, as well as on vocational skill learning in aboriginal educational contexts and diversity in the second/foreign language classroom. Research-based, theory-driven and hands-on contributions to the advancement of TBLT are welcomed.
