THE IMPACT OF TASK-BASED AND COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING APPROACHES ON LEARNER MOTIVATION, FLUENCY, AND COGNITIVE ENGAGEMENT IN EFL CONTEXTS: PEDAGOGICAL INSIGHTS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS
Abstract
This article explores the impact of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) on learner motivation, fluency, and cognitive engagement in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. The study emphasizes how these communicative approaches enhance interaction, promote autonomy, and develop learners’ linguistic and pragmatic competence. It also discusses pedagogical strategies, challenges, and classroom implications for educators aiming to integrate communicative methodologies effectively. Findings reveal that both TBLT and CLT foster a learner-centered environment that significantly increases motivation, fluency, and engagement. Keywords: Task-Based Learning, Communicative Approach, Motivation, Fluency, Cognitive Engagement, EFL Teaching.
