Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of task-based leaning with an emphasis on child learners. Both research and pedagogic tasks are covered and various definitions and examples of tasks are discussed. Differences between tasks for adult learners and tasks for children are explored. Some design features of classic tasks are analysed more closely with a focus on task demands and task supports. The chapter also covers findings from studies which have examined challenges of task implementation in primary classrooms from teachers’ points of view. It is suggested that future work involving task-based learning with children should be more context-embedded and should incorporate children as active task creators as well as probe into children’s views about tasks.
