My name is York Fern, and I have been teaching English for more than 12 years. I hold an international TEFL/TESOL certificate and have taught over 200 students of all ages. During this time, I’ve watched how modern teaching materials have changed right before my eyes. In this article, I’ll share the latest trends and some of my own secrets on how to make lesson materials more engaging, effective, and memorable for students.
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I want less explaining—more doing”? That’s exactly what project-based learning in English delivers: learners create a visible product, use language for real purposes, and finally stop asking “why do I need this?”. In the world of ELT, this approach is called project-based learning (PBL). In a project-based learning ELT context, it works beautifully—even with tight schedules and mixed-ability classes.
The Task-Based Learning (TBL) method is a communicative approach to teaching English that emerged in the late 1980s as part of the shift from theoretical instruction to practice-oriented learning. Its aim is to help learners use English as a tool for solving real-life problems: discussing travel routes, preparing presentations, or conducting negotiations.
TBL grew out of the communicative approach when educators noticed that students progress faster when they use language to achieve specific goals rather than complete abstract exercises. In such lessons, grammar and vocabulary are not treated as separate topics; they become natural means of communication.
This approach delivers tangible results: fluency rises, motivation increases, and learners gain confidence. Students speak more freely, fear mistakes less, and see a clear purpose in every lesson. For teachers, TBL is a way to make classes lively, dynamic, and more productive.
Let’s look at how to prepare a lesson using TBL principles — and why this approach simplifies the teacher’s work while improving student outcomes.
Reading is exploration — a powerful tool that activates the brain areas connecting words with imagery, helping learners expand both their passive and active vocabulary while forming natural speech patterns. Numerous studies confirm that reading English literature for language learning is not just a pleasant add-on but a proven method that enhances fluency, comprehension, and emotional engagement in ESL classrooms.
