Introduction
In higher education, language teaching is an important part of cultivating students' language abilities.Task based language teaching, as a teaching method, has received widespread attention in the field of education in recent years.This study aims to explore the effectiveness of task-based language teaching in higher education, in order to provide useful references for language teaching.Task based language teaching emphasizes learning language by completing practical tasks, enabling students to use language in real-life contexts and improving their language proficiency.This teaching method not only helps to improve students' language knowledge, but also enhances their learning interest and motivation, promotes the cultivation of independent learning ability and teamwork ability.Language teaching in higher education, especially English teaching, is of great significance in cultivating students' international perspectives and cross-cultural communication abilities.However, traditional teaching methods often place too much emphasis on imparting grammar and vocabulary, neglecting students' actual language proficiency.Therefore, exploring the effectiveness of task-based language teaching in higher education is of great practical significance for improving teaching methods and enhancing teaching quality.This study will investigate and analyze the application of task-based language teaching in higher education institutions, and explore the impact of task-based language teaching on students' language proficiency, learning interest, motivation, self-learning ability, and teamwork ability.The research results will provide useful references for language teaching in higher education, help improve teaching methods, and enhance teaching quality [1] .

The theoretical basis of task-based language teaching
The theoretical basis of task-based language teaching originates from communicative language teaching method, which emphasizes learning language by completing specific tasks in a real language environment.This teaching method believes that language learning should focus on students' actual language proficiency, rather than just imparting language knowledge.The theoretical basis of task-based language teaching also includes cognitive psychology, sociolinguistics, and second language acquisition theory.Cognitive psychology believes that language learning is a cognitive process, and students can improve their language comprehension and output abilities while completing tasks.Sociolinguistics emphasizes the social and communicative nature of language, and believes that language learning should focus on students' language proficiency in practical contexts.The second language acquisition theory focuses on the psychological process and language development laws of language learning, and believes that task-based language teaching can help students better grasp language knowledge and improve language proficiency.In summary, the theoretical foundation of task-based language teaching emphasizes the practicality and communicative nature of language learning, focusing on students' language proficiency in real-life contexts.This teaching method can stimulate students' interest and motivation in learning, promote the cultivation of self-directed learning ability and teamwork ability.In this study, we will explore the effectiveness of task-based language teaching in higher education based on its theoretical foundation.
