Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT); communicative competence; speaking course; teachers’ perceptions; classroom implementation

This study examines the implementation of task-based language teaching (TBLT) as a pedagogical approach to enhance communicative competence among freshmen in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at a university in Vietnam. Despite its established effectiveness in various contexts, challenges related to students' grammatical and vocabulary proficiency continue to hinder language acquisition. The present study investigates EFL teachers' perceptions and practices of TBLT in a speaking course, employing a mixed-methods approach that includes questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and classroom observations. The research findings reveal that while teachers recognize the benefits of TBLT, they articulate various reasons for its selective application in the classroom. The study highlights both benefits and drawbacks from the teachers' perspectives, providing insights into the practical implications of TBLT in real-world classroom settings. The study contributes a better insight into, and more practical implications for, effective integration of TBLT into language instruction to enhance the communicative competence for EFL learners.
