TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING (TBLT): ENHANCING COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN EFL CLASSROOMS

This article aims to investigate the effectiveness of TBLT in enhancing communicative competence among secondary school EFL learners. By implementing task-based instruction in selected classrooms and comparing outcomes with those taught using traditional methods, this study evaluates the impact of TBLT on students’ speaking, listening, and interactional performance. The research also seeks to provide practical insights for EFL teachers looking to adopt more communicative, learner-centered methodologies in their practice.
