Within the area of language teaching and learning, Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) has gained much attention, including recent publications such as Ellis et al (2019), Mackey (2020) and Ellis (2021). Among the latest pieces of work related to this field is the book entitled “Task-Based Language Teaching”, written by Daniel O. Jackson and released at the end of 2022. Jackson’s book is part of a series called Cambridge Elements in Language Teaching, which aims to present relevant concepts and studies in the area in a clear and concise fashion. Daniel O. Jackson, who is a professor at Kanda University of International Studies, has other contributions in the area of TBLT (Jackson, 2012; Jackson; Burch, 2017). In this new material, the author presents a comprehensive overview of the area by examining its theoretical groundwork, defining important key terms, and presenting important studies on task design and implementation in language classrooms. Therefore, this review seeks to present how the author explores TBLT in this new material and the relevance of such piece of work for theoretical purposes.
