Literature reviewed has shown that the TBLT method is theoretically framed by
the constructivist learning theory, which emphasizes the role of social interaction in
cognitive development (Piaget, 1970; Vygotsky, 1978) and is also informed by Dewey’s
(2009) notion of learning through activities. Tasks in language learning and teaching
have developed across time. Literature has also presented other practices in other
disciplines of knowledge that share similar characteristics and principles of TBLT which
include Developmental Appropriate Practice from Early Childhood, Whole Language
from Literacy, and Continuous Progress from Educational Leadership
