ENHANCING ENGLISH LANGUAGE COMPETENCE OF TECHNICAL SCHOOL STUDENTS THROUGH TASK-BASED AND DIGITAL LEARNING APPROACHES

In modern technical education, English language competence plays a crucial role in preparing students for participation in the global professional environment. Technical school students require not only general language skills but also the ability to communicate effectively in professional contexts related to technology and engineering. This study investigates the effectiveness of task-based language teaching (TBLT) combined with digital learning tools in improving English proficiency among technical school students. The research involved 60 second-year students divided into experimental and control groups. Over a 12-week period, the experimental group received instruction based on task-oriented activities supported by digital platforms, while the control group followed traditional textbook-based instruction. Pre-test and post-test results indicate significant improvement in speaking, vocabulary acquisition, and professional communication skills among students exposed to task-based and digital methods. The findings suggest that integrating communicative tasks and educational technologies enhances student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes in vocational English education.在现代职业技术教育领域，英语能力是助力学生适配全球职业环境的核心要素。职业技术学校学生不仅需掌握通用语言技能，更要具备在科技与工程相关的职业场景中高效沟通的能力。本研究探究了任务型语言教学（Task-Based Language Teaching, TBLT）结合数字化学习工具，对提升技校学生英语水平的效果。本次研究共纳入60名二年级学生，将其划分为实验组与对照组。在为期12周的教学周期内，实验组采用数字化平台支撑的任务型教学活动开展授课，对照组则沿用传统的教科书式教学模式。前后测结果显示，采用任务型与数字化教学方法的学生，其口语能力、词汇掌握水平与职业沟通技能均取得了显著提升。研究结果表明，在职业英语教育中整合交际任务与教育技术，能够有效提升学生的课堂参与度、学习动机与学习成效。
