Sumario:The Task-Based Approach promotes a change of perspective that brings the language learning process closer to the acquisition process, seeking to engage the Language Acquisition Device. This approach translates into a methodology that enhances practices such as collaborative work, interaction and active learning, all based upon the development of the communicative competence. A methodology grounded on the implementation of tasks to create authentic and meaningful communicative contexts that bring the learning process closer to reality, where language has an instrumental purpose. In order to demonstrate that the application of this approach is possible in the Spanish educational reality, I have designed a termly teaching proposal for a specific secondary school duly based on the current legal framework. This essay will show by example that a change in Spain’s language teaching system is not only necessary, but actually possible.
