Task-based language teaching (TBLT) is an approach to teaching a second or foreign language that focuses on the use of authentic language tasks as the main means for promoting communication and language development. TBLT is designed to foster communicative competence, which is the ability to use language effectively and appropriately in different contexts and for different purposes.
In a TBLT classroom, language learning is centered around tasks that involve real-life communication and problem-solving. These tasks are designed to engage learners in authentic language use, and to provide them with opportunities to practice using the language in a variety of different contexts and for different purposes.
The goal of TBLT is to create a natural, authentic language learning environment that allows learners to develop their language skills in a way that is meaningful and relevant to their lives. TBLT is based on the idea that learning a language is more effective when it is connected to real-life situations and when learners are able to use the language in a natural and authentic way.
TBLT typically involves a series of steps, including pre-task, task cycle, and language focus. In the pre-task stage, the teacher introduces the topic and language that will be used in the task, and activates the learners' prior knowledge and interests.

During the task cycle, learners engage in the task and communicate using the target language, while the teacher provides support and feedback as needed. In the language focus stage, the teacher and learners reflect on the language used during the task and focus on specific language points that need further attention.
TBLT has been found to be an effective approach to language teaching, and it has been widely adopted in language classrooms around the world. It is particularly well-suited for promoting communicative competence and for helping learners develop their ability to use language in authentic and meaningful contexts.
