Keywords:
Task-Based Language Teaching, EFL, communicative competence, learner autonomy, classroom tasksAbstract
This article examines Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) as an effective and practical approach to teaching English as a foreign language. Unlike traditional form-focused instruction, TBLT emphasizes meaningful tasks that reflect real-life language use. The study highlights the principles of task-based learning, the role of teachers and learners, and the impact of this approach on students’ communicative competence, motivation, and autonomy. Practical classroom applications and pedagogical benefits of TBLT are discussed.
