ABSTRACT

This paper delves into the application of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) in university English instruction and its effects. Combining quantitative and qualitative research methods, this study comprehensively assesses the impact of TBLT on enhancing students' abilities in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English. The quantitative analysis focuses on quantifying language proficiency improvements through student grades and test results, while qualitative analysis delves into students' learning experiences, exploring their perceptions and feedback. The findings demonstrate that TBLT excels not only in improving students' practical language skills but also significantly enhances their critical thinking abilities. Additionally, this teaching method positively influences students' learning motivation and engagement, making them more proactive in the learning process. The study also identifies challenges encountered in implementing TBLT, including difficulties in task design and adaptation to student needs for teachers, and students' challenges in adapting to new learning methods. Addressing these challenges, the research proposes a series of solutions such as enhanced teacher training and improved student guidance to ensure effective implementation of the teaching method and maximization of student learning outcomes. Overall, this research provides valuable insights for the field of university English education, showcasing the potential value and application prospects of TBLT in the current educational environment.
