DESIGNING EFFECTIVE TASKS FOR TBLT: BALANCING COMPLEXITY, AUTHENTICITY, AND LEARNER NEEDS MAKHMUDOVA MAFTUNA AKTAM QIZI

Аннотация

Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) emphasizes meaningful communication and real-world applicability, making it a widely adopted approach in language education. Effective task design in TBLT requires a careful balance of complexity, authenticity, and learner needs to ensure both engagement and linguistic development. This article explores key principles and strategies for designing tasks that promote language acquisition while maintaining practical relevance. It examines theoretical frameworks related to task complexity, the role of authenticity in sustaining motivation, and the importance of aligning tasks with learners’ cognitive and linguistic abilities. The discussion highlights practical approaches such as sequencing complexity, integrating pedagogic authenticity, and leveraging technology to enhance task effectiveness. By addressing these factors, the study provides insights into optimizing TBLT for diverse learning contexts, ensuring tasks are both pedagogically sound and applicable beyond the classroom.
