This paper explores the effectiveness of Task-Based Learning (TBL) strategies in teaching literature in foreign language classes. The study aimed to assess whether students could improve their language skills over a 12-week period. Conducted at a Saudi Arabian University with 24 participants (12 in each group), the research compared a traditional, teacher-centered method (Group 1) with a TBL approach (Group 2), which included activities such as role plays, group discussions, and creative tasks.
To measure language development, pre- and post-tests were administered, focusing on vocabulary, comprehension and speaking skills. After completing the modules, both groups participated in group discussions for evaluation and feedback. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with three students from each group to gain deeper insights into their learning experiences.
The findings indicate that TBL activities, particularly role play and group discussions, helped students engage more deeply with the literature, enhancing both their language skills and communicative competence. The study suggests that task-based strategies foster creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration, proving effective in improving language proficiency in the foreign language classroom.
