TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING IN THE ESL CLASSROOM: A PEDAGOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

Аннотация

Abstract: Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) has emerged as an influential approach in English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms, emphasizing the use of meaningful tasks to promote communication and language acquisition. This article explores the pedagogical foundations of TBLT and its practical application in ESL contexts. It analyzes how task design, sequencing, and assessment contribute to learner engagement and fluency development. The study also discusses challenges faced by educators, including task complexity, classroom management, and learner readiness. Findings suggest that TBLT fosters authentic language use and learner autonomy, but its effectiveness depends on strategic planning and teacher expertise.
