Abstract
This article explores the effectiveness of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) in online and offline classrooms. TBLT is a communicative approach that focuses on meaningful tasks to enhance students’ language acquisition. The study examines the advantages and challenges of implementing TBLT in different learning environments, considering factors such as student engagement, interaction, and learning outcomes. It also compares how TBLT strategies are adapted in face-to-face and virtual settings. The findings suggest that while TBLT is highly effective in improving language skills, its success depends on proper task design and teacher facilitation. The article concludes with recommendations for optimizing TBLT-based teaching in diverse educational contexts.
