Abstract

Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) offers a student-centered approach that encourages meaningful interactions and authentic language use, aligning with the growing emphasis on communicative language teaching. Researching TBLT can contribute to improving English language teaching practices by exploring innovative instructional methods. Thus, through literature review, this paper provides an overview on the application and effects of TBLT in English language education in middle school and university settings. In addition, the demerits of TBLT are also analyzed to provide a critical view and suggestions. This paper aims to examine the rationale for researching TBLT in English language teaching, discuss the research methods employed, outline the main themes explored, and emphasize the importance of such research.
