Tasked based learning

Cutting Edge has become so popular because of its pedagogically unique teaching style. This is called 'tasked-based' learning. Learning progress is achieved through appropriate tasks. Task-based teaching enables learners to communicate in the foreign language in order to pursue specific goals:

establish a relationship with the talking partner
communicate ideas, emotions, experiences, knowledge, wishes, etc.
to "negotiate" personally relevant content
and trigger this way certain reactions to action in the communication partner.
