THE ROLE OF TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING (TBLT) IN ENHANCING SPEAKING SKILLS

Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) has emerged as a significant approach in language education, focusing on the use of meaningful tasks to improve learners' language skills. This article examines the role of TBLT in enhancing speaking skills, exploring its theoretical underpinnings, implementation strategies, and effectiveness. A study involving intermediate ESL learners was conducted to evaluate the impact of TBLT on speaking proficiency. Results indicate that TBLT significantly improves learners' fluency, accuracy, and overall confidence in speaking. The discussion addresses the practical implications of these findings for language educators and provides recommendations for optimizing TBLT in classroom settings.

任务型语言教学（Task-Based Language Teaching, TBLT）已成为语言教育领域极具影响力的教学范式，其核心在于依托有意义的语言任务提升学习者的语言综合能力。本文探讨了任务型语言教学在提升口语技能中的作用，对其理论基础、实施策略与应用效果展开系统性研究。本研究针对中级英语作为第二语言（English as a Second Language, ESL）学习者开展，以评估任务型语言教学对学习者口语水平的影响。研究结果显示，任务型语言教学可显著提升学习者的口语流畅度、准确度以及整体口语表达自信心。本文的讨论部分针对上述研究成果，为语言教育工作者阐明了其实践应用价值，并为课堂教学场景下优化任务型语言教学的实施提供了针对性建议。
