TASK-BASED LEARNING AS A TOOL FOR DEVELOPING INTEGRATED LANGUAGE SKILLS IN EFL EDUCATION

Abstract

This paper explores the role of Task-Based Learning (TBL) in developing integrated language skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. The study focuses on how task-based activities enable learners to use listening, speaking, reading, and writing simultaneously in meaningful contexts. It also examines the impact of such tasks on learner motivation, engagement, and communicative competence. The findings demonstrate that TBL creates an interactive and learner-centered environment where students actively participate in communication. As a result, learners improve their overall language proficiency and become more confident in real-life communication. The study concludes that Task-Based Learning is an effective and practical approach for integrating language skills and enhancing language teaching outcomes
