A variety of approaches exist in foreign language teaching and learning; Task-based Learning (TBL) is one of them. It is an innovative approach that is developed from the Communicative Approach. The concepts of TBL have proven successful in classrooms. In this study, the writer conducted a literature review of task-based learning in teaching English dealing with the benefits and problems in implementing this approach in Indonesia. This paper seeks to review Task-based Learning (TBL), covering the definition of 'task' and Task-based Learning (TBL), the characteristics and stages of TBL, the teacher and students' roles in Task-based Learning, and also the advantages and disadvantages of Task-based Learning. It also addresses the application, the benefits and problems of Task-based Learning in the sense of Indonesian EFL context. This will help educators and language teachers in Indonesia to attach more importance to the contextual differences when applying Task-based Learning in Indonesia.

Task-based Language Teaching in Asia, especially Indonesia, was more popular in foreign language English teaching. The approach that focuses on the student is regarded to be more efficient than the traditional one. This study was undertaken so as to find out the attitude and perspective of learners regarding implementing language teaching based on tasks (TBLT). 96 learners of the Islamic Junior high school in Indonesia were randomly selected. In order to investigate participants' attitudes and perceptions a task based questionnaire has been designed. By employing the Likert Scale, data were evaluated quantitatively. The results of the study demonstrate that most EFL Indonesian learners have generally good attitudes and views concerning TBLT and so most of them like to join in TBLT English class. In other words, EFL learners are ready to adapt to a new methods of language learning because they are willing to apply TBLT successfully. In this study, some major issues highlighted by the results will be examined and some significant suggestions made by the results are discussed.

Task-based Learning is increasingly prevalent worldwide. It emphasizes on authentic language use and asks students to perform meaningful tasks. English teaching by tasks is considered useful in a language classroom because the students are expected to learn better the target language when tasks are used in language teaching. The tasks are designed to establish a real language use objectives and to create a natural language acquisition setting. Task-based Learning, often considered being the powerful Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) version, gradually becoming second-language learning. This article describes the Task-based Learning definition, to recognize the principles and characteristics of Task-based Learning, to examine how to implement Task-based Learning in the English classroom, and to clarify the advantages of this approach.

As the phenomenon of radical religious understanding emerges, the discourse of Islamic moderation in Indonesia is reemerging. Education plays a crucial part in the process of internalizing moderate Islamic values. Instilling Islamic moderation values must occur not only in religious subjects but also in other subjects such as English. The study's objective is to explore how Islamic moderation values be integrated into the English language class. This study is qualitative and involves a case study. Through an in-depth interview, observation, and documentation, the data were acquired. The results were then thematically analyzed. The study's findings revealed that Islamic moderation values could be integrated into lesson plans, learning materials, teaching and learning activities, and evaluation. Some significant suggestions made by the results are discussed in this study.
