'''Task-based learning''' is a language learning method popularised by [[N. Prabhu]] while working in [[Bangalore, India]]. Prabhu figured out that his students could learn language just as easily with a non-linguistic problems as when they are concentrating on linguistic questions. Task-based learning is used widely for language learning.
