Abstract: This article traces the development in task-based language teaching research over the past thirty years by discussing the four influential theoretical and pedagogical frameworks developed at different times and around different parameters of task-based language teaching. The four frameworks, put together, provide us a trace of the historical path that task-based language teaching has evolved over the past thirty years and mirrors the overall advancement of second language acquisition research.
