Abstract
This article examines the effectiveness of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) as a pedagogical framework for developing communicative competence among university-level English language learners. Grounded in four years of classroom teaching experience and supported by an extensive body of second language acquisition (SLA) research, the study explores how TBLT addresses the gap between formal linguistic knowledge and authentic communicative ability.References
