Academic Comment (AR)The integration of Task-Based Learning (TBL) into the teaching of conditional sentences offers a highly effective pedagogical approach, particularly because TBL emphasizes meaningful communication over isolated grammar drills. Through problem-solving tasks, real-life scenarios, and collaborative activities, learners are naturally prompted to produce conditional structures to achieve communicative goals. This situational use promotes deeper cognitive processing, which supports long-term retention and transferable grammatical competence. Moreover, TBL encourages learner autonomy, as students experiment with language forms while negotiating meaning. The focus on fluency before accuracy allows learners to use conditional sentences in authentic contexts, after which targeted feedback can refine accuracy. This sequence aligns well with contemporary SLA theories that highlight the importance of input, interaction, and output. Overall, applying TBL to the learning of conditional sentences not only strengthens grammatical understanding but also enhances communicative proficiency, making grammar instruction more dynamic, engaging, and contextually relevant.
