Welcome!

The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and English Studies and the Language Acquisition Research Group (GRAL) at the University of Barcelona, under the auspices of the International Association for Task-Based Language Teaching (IATBLT),  would like to welcome you to the seventh Task-based Language Teaching  Conference which will be held in Barcelona from the 19th to the 21st of April, 2017.

The theme of the conference is "Tasks in Context". The conference will bring together researchers and educators from many different countries around the globe who will be talking about how tasks are being used in different contexts around the world, and how contexts may shape tasks and tasks may shape contexts.

The University of Barcelona, with over 65000 students in 18 different faculties and hundreds of undergraduate and graduate programs, has a long and rich history of research and teaching. We are also sure the City of Barcelona has many things to offer for you to have a pleasant stay during and around your attendance to the conference.

We are currently working on the different sections of our web site. Please click on the menu on your right to read about the First Call for Papers.

We will keep you informed and we look forward to meeting you in all in Barcelona!
