Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) has become an effective approach in modern English language education for developing learners’ communicative competence. This method emphasizes the use of meaningful tasks that reflect real-life communication, enabling students to use language actively rather than focusing only on grammatical rules. The present study explores how TBLT contributes to improving learners’ speaking, listening, interaction, and problem-solving skills. It highlights the importance of learner-centered instruction, collaboration, and authentic communication in the language classroom. The findings indicate that task-based activities such as role-plays, group discussions, information-gap tasks, and problem-solving exercises significantly enhance students’ ability to communicate fluently and confidently in English.
