<p class="2"><span lang="EN-AU">This paper is a critical review of the notion of consciousness-raising approach in the mainstream Applied Linguistics (AL) and Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). It reviews the development of this approach from traditional grammarian perspectives to the recent developments in AL, and compares and contrasts this approach in AL with the notion of grammatical metaphor (GM) in SFL as a compatible resource for consciousness-raising. The paper concludes that SFL introduces new and developmental resources of consciousness at different times and spaces, which is subject to further linguistic investigations. It has also implications for the English language teaching and learning in EFL contexts. </span></p>

Recent trends in language teaching bother sense and thought. The language learning involves thinking about them, the practice is conscious of the language it is those that take place in the framework of meaning and not just in the automated training. Reading, for example, is no longer a moratorium on decoders and know the words and pronunciations, It has become in the modern concept understanding and Monetary calendar includes, and learning the rest effect is learning that carries meaning, and therefore it does not expect that any language skill is taught however, in the context of a meaningful, this requires the teacher to make sure that students understand what is offered to them from the linguistic material.

This critical review investigates the efficacy in using Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) to boost learner communicative competence as TBLT is taking a pioneering role in developing communicative language in Asia and Vietnam. The application of TBLT in Vietnam has faced several problems, including exam-based learning programs, classroom constraints, and teachers' willingness for innovative approaches. Our in-depth analysis exposed why Vietnamese and Asian teachers cannot initially trust TBLT, and overcome these challenges to enhance communicative competence. The thorough review of research works in Asia evinced that (1) TBLT can holistically improve communicative competence and (2) the criticisms against TBLT can be solved with patience, flexibility, strategic task design, and openness. Then, the authors suggested a table for TBLT practitioners to consider based on students’ level of proficiency to cater to different teaching contexts and other pedagogic suggestions to implement TBLT in exam-oriented classes. Finally, we also introduce some research gaps for further investigation.
