The latest educational trends have put emphasis on a communi- cative approach to FL teaching and learning, focusing on meaning, functionality, and the integration of skills (Richards and Rodgers 2015). Therefore, it is necessary that FL teachers become acquainted with methodologies which follow an integrated-skills approach such as TBLT.
