The English teacher often lives a special problem when they want to
explain the upper- level. English for specific purposes this type of English. In
this type talking about the English for specific purposes (E.S.P) try to integrates
the instruction in the classroom with a specialized terminology and process that
prepare the students in order to development the ability to explain formal
processes. Then they have to demonstrate in their chosen careers.

This method make upper- level classes affective and communicative the
teacher used to use this, with relevant activities for increment the engagement
and comprehension on the students.

In adiccion to task – based teaching and oral communication practice,


exist two main problems in the students; to communicative and motivation them
to talk, Willis (1996,36) says “ a goal oriented communicative activity with a
specific outcome, where the emphasis is on exchanging meanings, not
producing specific language form”. About the task- based learning produces the
opposite.

If the students use English cooperative and talk with another people the
beneficial are more, because the students work in group and their conversations
are more spontaneous, this prepare the students for real situation for the real
world.

Task- based teaching the main characteristic is work in group, the


teacher must find a solution in her or his class unit in pairs to students in
different levels of language with the propos it that the students learns the
different forms and learn more words.

So language learning tasks create amazing possibilities that the students


interactive because the students can listen, ordering the ideas, problem solving,
compare and contrast, shah personal experiences, creative tasks and projects. All
this suggestion create a biggest opportunities to the teacher to solve the problem
of the students and learning is more sure.
