contents <p class="MsoNormal"><span>This article discusses the role of task-based language teaching in developing communicative competence among university students learning English as a foreign language. In many EFL classrooms, students often gain knowledge of grammar and vocabulary but still experience difficulties when they need to use English in real communication. For this reason, language teaching should provide learners with purposeful activities that reflect authentic communication rather than focusing only on mechanical practice. The article explores how task-based instruction, supported by appropriate digital tools and authentic materials, can help students improve their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in an integrated way. It also considers the importance of lesson stages, learner motivation, classroom context, and teacher guidance. The article argues that when tasks are carefully designed, they encourage students to use English more confidently, develop fluency and accuracy, and become more active participants in the learning process.</span></p>
