Abstract

Take-based Language Teaching (TBLT) is an approach of foreign or second language teaching designed to involve learners through communicative tasks in an interactive and authentic language. Although many studies have been conducted on TBLT in English as a foreign language (EFL) in the Indonesian setting, few have dealt explicitly with investigating teachers' understanding and attitudes towards this approach. Therefore, this study was intended to explore the understanding and attitudes of EFL teachers towards TBLT in their context. The study used a case study design, and it involved four teachers in an Islamic Junior High School in Indonesia. Data of the study were gathered through face-to-face interviews. Then the results were analyzed thematically. The results reveal that most teachers had a positive understanding concerning TBLT, but their attitudes towards this approach were different. The teachers had positive, negative, and neutral attitudes. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the Indonesian government review its teacher training curriculum for trainees to acquire appropriate knowledge and skills to implement the TBLT approach effectively. Keywords: teacher’s understanding, attitude, Task-based Language Teaching, Islamic Junior High School
