Résumé

This article aims to examine the design and theory behind task based learning (TBL) more specifically the task phase from the perspective of the complexity theory. By establishing points of contact between TBL and complexity theory, this article also aims to debate, from a theoretical point of view, whether or not the task phase can be characterized as a complex system using the ten characteristics proposed by Larsen-Freeman (1997). Such systems should be dynamic, complex, nonlinear, sensitive to initial conditions, unpredictable, chaotic, sensitive to feedback, open, adaptive and self-organizing.
