“…As regards foreign language teaching, which is the focus of this article, few studies have investigated the pedagogical potential of frame semantics.

(2020) pointed out, "TBLT is not monolithic but incorporates a range of possibilities which share the central idea that a language is best learned through the effort to use it communicatively" (p. 23). The notion of TBLT emerged in the 1980s in reaction to more traditional, teacher-centered, structure-based approaches, and since then it has gathered considerable momentum, becoming a prominent topic for discussion and debate among researchers and practitioners.East's (2021, pp. 68-72) overview of illustrative cases of TBLT implementation in different contexts all over the world indicates that putting TBLT into practice is a rather challenging endeavor; in fact, besides a general agreement on "the essential characteristics of a task (real-world relationship; focus on meaning; gap; and outcome)," there seems to be no consensus about "where,
