  1. Memorising grammar lists
  2. Translating long texts
  3. Copying model essays
  4. Completing meaningful tasks
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Completing meaningful tasks

1. Task-based language teaching focuses on authentic language. 2. Learners use it to complete meaningful tasks in the target language. 3. Assessment is mainly by task outcomes rather than accuracy of forms. **Why not the others:** Memorising lists, translating long texts and copying essays are form-focused activities, not tasks. _Source: Wikipedia, "Task-based language teaching", section "introduction" (revision 1375911558)_
