Task-based English learning is important because it helps in strengthening students' character. However, not all teachers believe the task is important to the learning process. Furthermore, the tasks such as homework given to students need to consider their situation and psychological state. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine an overview of the teachers' task model and the feedback in English classes. It was carried out at the Tourism Department, Politeknik Negeri Bali. A total of 116 students who learned English were selected as the participants utilizing a questionnaire. Moreover, the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with stages of collecting, compiling, processing, and presenting numerical data to give a regular, concise, as well as clear description of an event or symptom. The study indicated that students' perceptions varied with the tasks assigned. Almost all students considered that the teacher only sometimes comments on their sheets. In conclusion, each individual student showed different response patterns while exploring foreign languages.
