THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING IN ENHANCING SPEAKING SKILLS IN EFL CLASSROOMS

Аннотация

This paper explores the implementation of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) as a methodology in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, particularly in improving speaking skills among university students. By analyzing classroom-based research, this study demonstrates how real-life communicative tasks can increase student engagement, confidence, and fluency. The methodology section details the design and execution of a quasi-experimental study. The results indicate that students taught using TBLT show significantly greater improvement in spontaneous speaking compared to those taught using traditional grammar-based approaches.
