task-based
Organized by assignments
Task-based describes an approach organized around completing specific tasks rather than following abstract principles or covering material systematically.
In language teaching, task-based learning has students accomplish real-world objectives—ordering food, solving a problem—rather than drilling grammar rules: The course uses task-based instruction where students plan actual events.
The term appears in education, software design, and workplace training.
