This article explores the effectiveness of task-based instruction (TBI) compared to traditional methods in improving reproductive skills, specifically speaking and writing, in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. Through a comprehensive review of literature and empirical evidence, this study examines the theoretical underpinnings, methodological approaches, and outcomes associated with both instructional methodologies. Key differences between TBI and traditional methods are analyzed, highlighting their respective strengths and weaknesses in enhancing language proficiency. The findings suggest that while traditional methods prioritize accuracy and rule-based learning, TBI emphasizes authentic communication and language use in meaningful contexts, leading to more significant improvements in reproductive skills among EFL learners.
