Abstract: This study investigates the effectiveness of task-based approaches in language learning, focusing on the integration of real-world tasks and problem-solving activities. Task-based language teaching (TBLT) emphasizes authentic communication and practical use of language, fostering a more engaging and meaningful learning experience. Through a systematic review of existing literature and an analysis of various educational contexts, this research highlights how task-based approaches enhance language acquisition by promoting active participation, critical thinking, and collaboration among learners. The findings demonstrate that real-world tasks not only improve linguistic proficiency but also facilitate the development of cognitive and social skills essential for effective communication. Additionally, problem-solving activities are shown to encourage learners to navigate linguistic challenges in context, further reinforcing their language abilities. These abstract underscores the potential of task-based methodologies as valuable tools for educators aiming to create dynamic and effective language learning environments that mirror real-life interactions.
