It starts from the observation that needs analyses, constituting an essential part of\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttask-based curriculum design, serve to identify the target language tasks that additional language learners are\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\texpected to perform in \u201creal life,\u201d more particularly in relevant situations that require the comprehension of input\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tor production of output in the target language. To prepare students for the latter, task-based language teaching\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbuilds on a series of gradually more complex pedagogic tasks. But how \u201creal\u201d are those, and how real do they need to\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbe? In which ways are links between pedagogical tasks and outside-school language use established to foster students\u2019\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcompetences to use the target language for real-life purposes and to participate in interactions outside the\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclassroom? To answer these questions, I will explore the notion of task authenticity in this chapter. Deconstructing\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthat notion into different layers of authenticity will allow me to describe different ways in which links between\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttask-based classroom activity and real-life language use can be established. The different types of links will be\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tillustrated with examples taken from authentic (no pun intended) classrooms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1075\/tblt.17.03van","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,8]],"date-time":"2025-05-08T03:33:47Z","timestamp":1746675227000},"page":"41-59","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["How real is real?"],"prefix":"10.1075","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8348-7034","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kris","family":"Van den Branden","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05f950310","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of Leuven"}]}],"member":"1757","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"CIT0092","DOI":"10.1017\/9781108333603.021"},{"volume-title":"Meta-analysis of the effectiveness of task-based interaction in form-focussed instruction of adult learners in foreign and second language teaching","year":"2010","author":"Cobb","key":"CIT0093"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"CIT0094","DOI":"10.1093\/applin\/amv010"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"CIT0095","DOI":"10.1002\/9781118914069.ch16"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"CIT0096","DOI":"10.1177\/1362168814541745"},{"key":"CIT0097","volume-title":"How languages are learned","author":"Lightbown","year":"2013","edition":"4"},{"key":"CIT0098","first-page":"77","article-title":"A role for instruction in second language acquisition: Task-based language teaching","volume-title":"Modelling and assessing second language acquisition","author":"Long","year":"1985"},{"volume-title":"Teaching unplugged.
