This study investigates the application and effectiveness of Task-Based Language Teaching(TBLT)in Chinese as a Second Language(CSL)education.The study explores whether task-based learning,which prioritizes real-life communication and contextual language use,can enhance students'language proficiency in speaking,listening,reading,and writing.A total of 40 non-native Chinese speakers,ranging from beginner to intermediate proficiency levels,participated in a 12-week study,divided into an experimental group using TBLT and a control group using traditional grammar-based instruction.The study employed a combination of pre-and post-tests,classroom observations,and participant surveys to collect data.Results showed significant improvements in the experimental group,particularly in speaking and listening skills,with a 25%increase in overall language proficiency,compared to only a 10%improvement in the control group.Additionally,cultural tasks integrated into TBLT lessons helped students gain deeper insights into Chinese culture,enhancing their cultural competence alongside their linguistic abilities.The findings suggest that TBLT is an effective pedagogical approach for improving CSL learners'language skills and fostering a greater understanding of Chinese culture,although challenges remain in terms of task design and teacher training.
