Abstract
In recent years, the field of English Language Teaching (ELT) has undergone
notable transformation due to progress in pedagogical theories, digital tools, and
classroom practices. As a result, teachers today have access to a diverse range of
methods designed to improve learners’ language proficiency. Among these
approaches, Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) stands out as one of the most
practical and learner-centered methodologies. This article provides an in-depth
overview of the advantages TBLT offers, particularly in enhancing students’ real-life
communication skills and active language use. It also discusses practical strategies and
considerations for educators who wish to integrate TBLT into their lessons, ensuring
more effective and engaging English language learning experiences.
