DEVELOPING COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN TECHNICAL COLLEGE STUDENTS THROUGH TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING

This article explores the development of communicative competence in technical college students through Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT). It focuses on how practical, goal-oriented tasks can improve students’ ability to use English in real-life professional situations. The study highlights the importance of integrating workplace-related activities such as problem-solving tasks, role plays, and interview simulations into the language classroom. Based on theoretical sources and classroom practice, the article shows that TBLT increases student motivation, encourages active participation, and supports the gradual development of fluency and confidence. The findings suggest that task-based instruction is especially effective in technical education, where students need functional language skills for future careers.
