THE ROLE OF SCAFFOLDING IN TBI FOR PRODUCTIVE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Task-Based Instruction (TBI) has become a widely recognized approach in language teaching, emphasizing the use of authentic tasks to foster meaningful language use and development. In TBI, learners engage in tasks that mirror real-world language use, thereby enhancing their proficiency in productive skills such as speaking and writing. However, learners often require support to effectively complete these tasks and achieve language learning goals. This support, known as scaffolding, plays a crucial role in helping learners perform tasks beyond their current capabilities and progressively develop their productive skills.
