“…The superiority of TBLT over the traditional, translation-based approaches to teaching reading has been reported by previous studies (Chalak, 2015;Golchin & Kheirabadi, 2013;Mohammadipour & Rashid, 2015;ÖKCÜ, 2015;Tilfarlioglu & Basaran, 2007;Shabani & Ghasemi, 2014) which is supported by the findings of the present study. The results of the present study also indicated that the engineering students benefited more from TBLT approach to teaching reading in comparison to their counterparts in the law group.…”

The present study primarily aimed at investigating the effect of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) on development of the Iranian EFL learners' ESP Reading Comprehension Skills. Moreover, it was aimed at investigating the probable difference between the TBLT-instructed students of Law and Mechanical Engineering with respect to their ESP reading skills, on the one hand, and the probable difference between TBLT-instructed males and females, on the other. In so doing, four groups of 25 participants (including two experimental groups and two control ones) were selected through cluster random sampling from among ESP students majoring in Law and Mechanical Engineering. After a four-week instruction treatment, the post-test was conducted to the participants. The results of the data analysis revealed that the experimental groups significantly performed better than the control groups in the post-test with respect to their reading comprehension scores. Furthermore, the results of independent samples t-test indicated that TBLT has been more effective on the Mechanical Engineering students than the Law students. Finally, the findings of the study were indicative of the fact that TBLT was more effective on females' reading comprehension rather than on males'. Consequently, it can be concluded that TBLT can have a positive effect on students' ESP reading ability. The findings of this study can be employed in different areas of second/foreign language teaching and learning to facilitate and improve the process of language learning.

Applying certain method in teaching English is important to fulfill the students' need in acquiring language, but having the students attending the learning process is the requirement in presenting effective teaching experience to the students. Effective teaching can be applied as long as the students 'motivation and willingness to learn and respond to the experience exist. However, the issue of being unmotivated in learning process keeps arising. This study, as a matter of fact, tries to bring the evidence of the implementation of Task-Based Language Teaching as a method of teaching English as Foreign Language which is believed can enhance students' language learning motivation. Rather than asking the students opinion about the improvement on their motivation, this study believes in the objectiveness of using observation sheet to analyze the students on-task and off-task behavior. The results of observations show that there is a significant increase in students' motivation during the implementation of the method. The results indeed give the evidence that there is a statistically significant difference between the scores of overall class motivation in the experimental group and control group.

The secretary students of the college in which this research conducted use Buku Pegangan Kuliah (BPK) as learning resource of English subject. Nevertheless, according to the result of analysis, the book does not cover the criteria of a good book yet that are analyzed from seven aspects including objective, content, language skill, task, topic, methodology, and presentation. The materials which are presented in the book refer to general English and tend to emphasize on grammar. However, the secretary students need specific English material that focuses on the field. This study is aimed to (1) analyze the relevancy of the existing English textbook with the students’ need; (2) describe the development of task-based English module for secretary department; (3) describe the validity of the module. This study is a research and development, which the main step is conducted in two ways. First, exploration includes library research and field research. Second, development includes product specification planning, product design, expert validation, and tryout. The specific English module is validated by an expert of teaching and learning English and an expert of secretary and office administration. The findings of the study are: (1) the materials of the existing book does not fulfill the secretary students’ need yet; (2) designing task based English module for secretary students based on the data from need analysis; (3) the result of module validation from the two experts obtains 87%, it belongs to valid and feasible to be implemented in the teaching and learning.
