TEACHING ENGLISH THROUGH TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

 Abstract. The increasing demand for effective English language instruction in higher education has encouraged educators to adopt innovative teaching methodologies that promote communicative competence and learner autonomy. Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) has emerged as one of the most influential approaches in modern language pedagogy. This article examines the theoretical foundations, principles, advantages, and challenges of implementing TBLT in higher education settings. The study highlights how meaningful tasks facilitate authentic language use, improve communicative skills, and enhance student engagement. Furthermore, practical recommendations for integrating TBLT into university-level English courses are discussed. The findings suggest that TBLT provides an effective framework for developing learners’ linguistic competence and preparing them for real-world communication.
