The following term paper will give an overview of the principles of task-supported language learning (TSLL). Firstly, the basic concept of a “task” and its meaning will be analysed. Then, TSLL will be further explained by using the guidelines provided by Ellis (2003). Moreover, the sequencing of a task will be exemplified. Following this, the teacher and learner roles in the TSLL context will be investigated. Furthermore, the different options of task support will be elucidated.

Additionally, the speaking and writing competencies will be elaborated on. Possibilities of improving these will be mentioned. The target task C11 taken from the coursebook “Camden Town 4”, which is used in grade 8 at grammar schools in Hesse, will be analysed based on the previously mentioned aspects. Ideas on how this target task could be enhanced will be offered. Finally, it will be embedded in the according curriculum and analysed for the competencies that are to be achieved.
