Resum

The current thesis seeks to explore the efficacy of a task-based language teaching (TBLT) programme in influencing Spanish pre-service EFL teachers' knowledge and beliefs regarding teaching English by using tasks. Despite the sheer amount of research and empirical evidence for the adequacy of TBLT, findings demonstrate that the implementation of TBLT in classrooms is not always successful in different language classes worldwide (Adam & Newton, 2009; Butler, 2011, 2017; Thomas & Reinders, 2015), and also show teachers' low understanding of TBLT and lack of awareness regarding using this approach in their classes. These factors are the main reasons behind undertaking this research and make it a valuable topic to advance in this research context.
