==I'm dubious. Does this topic really exist?==

Line 299 ⟶ 301:

I've combined the "advantages" and the "disadvantages" sections into one "reception" section. Mainly this is because in Wikipedia we shouldn't be writing what we as editors think are good and bad about TBLL, but rather what ''experts'' think is good and bad about TBLL. It might be helpful to look at the essay [[Wikipedia:Criticism]] to see the reasoning behind this, and for the general principle it is a very good idea to read the policy on [[WP:NOR|no original research]]. When adding to the reception section it is also important to use [[WP:SECONDARY|secondary sources]] that mention the praise or criticism, rather than [[WP:PRIMARY|primary sources]]. This ensures that we include only notable opinions, rather than any old likes and dislikes. Let me know if you have any questions about this.

And then three days later you removed the original "Disadvantages" part, which stated: "While task-based language learning is increasingly promoted world-wide and has the advantages described above, there are trade-offs and pitfalls to be considered in planning instruction around it. These include the risk that some students will stay within the narrow confines of familiar words and forms, just "getting by", so as to avoid the extra effort and risks of error that accompany stretching to use new words and forms. However, this kind of "playing safe" is not limited to TBLL and can be seen whenever learners a given free production tasks, for example written compositions or conversation practice. As with all group work, in group tasks, some students can "hide" and rely on others to do the bulk of the work and learning if other members of the group allow them to. Perceived lack of effort and/or participation by one or more members of a group can sometimes lead to conflict within the group. A second challenge is that the activities in which new learning occurs in the task-based lesson—one of its benefits—may yet be weak or lost if the lesson did not include sufficient planning for, or runs out of time for, are not repeated sufficiently or performed for long enough for the language to be competently developed and performed. A third challenge, one applying to many otherwise valuable language teaching methods, is the difficulty of implementing task-based teaching where classes are large and space limited and/or inflexible."

Nice trick to combine them first rather than just deleting the entire disadvantages paragraph which would have instead led to calls for sources.[[Special:Contributions/88.212.36.193|88.212.36.193]] ([[User talk:88.212.36.193|talk]]) 23:37, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
