Abstract
Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) has become one of the most influential approaches in contemporary English language pedagogy. Grounded in communicative language teaching and second language acquisition research, TBLT emphasizes the use of meaningful tasks as the central unit of instruction. This article explores the theoretical foundations, pedagogical principles, and practical implications of TBLT in English language learning. It discusses how task-based instruction enhances communicative competence, learner autonomy, critical thinking, and real-world language use. The paper also highlights modern developments, including digital task design and learner-centered assessment. The findings suggest that TBLT provides a dynamic and effective framework for fostering language proficiency in diverse educational contexts.
