Abstract

This study investigates teachers' perceptions of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) in the context of teaching English writing at Indonesian secondary schools. Through semi-structured interviews with three English teachers who working in SMA Insan Cendekia Seych Yusuf, the research revealed a complex interplay of beliefs regarding the effectiveness and challenges of implementing TBLT. The findings indicated that while teachers generally recognize the potential of TBLT to enhance student engagement and improve writing skills, significant barriers remain. These include students' readiness for collaborative tasks, institutional constraints related to an exam-oriented curriculum, and the need for professional development to equip teachers with the necessary skills for effective TBLT implementation. The study highlights the importance of addressing these challenges through targeted training and curriculum alignment to facilitate the successful integration of TBLT in language education. Ultimately, the insights gained contribute to the growing body of literature on TBLT and underscore the need for further research to explore effective strategies for overcoming barriers to its implementation.

Abstract

This research identifies the impacts of implementing the task-based method in teaching English writing at SMA Insan Cendekia Syech Yusuf. The study addresses a research question focusing on how implementing a task-based method in teaching English writing impacts students' writing skills. The study involved two English teachers and four SMA Insan Cendekia Syech Yusuf students. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and written assignments. The findings reveal that the task-based method in teaching English writing is implemented through a structured task cycle involving pre-task, task, and post-task phases. Furthermore, the students reported positive impacts of task-based language teaching on their writing skills, particularly regarding organization, coherence, and critical thinking. However, the challenges related to language proficiency, task understanding, and time constraints were identified as barriers to full engagement. The emotional engagement varied among students, with some expressing frustration due to language limitations, while others thrived in the collaborative and problem-solving aspects of task-based language teaching. The study concludes that while the task-based method in teaching English writing shows significant potential for improving students' English writing skills, careful consideration must be given to task design, teacher support, and addressing student proficiency levels to maximize effectiveness. Future research should explore strategies for overcoming these challenges and enhancing student engagement in task-based language teaching in writing classes.
