This study examines the relationship between Task-Based Language Teaching and student engagement in English as a Foreign Language classrooms. It focuses on how different task types influence learners’ behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement during language learning activities. Individual, pair-work, group, problem-solving, and project-based tasks are considered in relation to students’ participation, concentration, motivation, interaction, and willingness to communicate. The study highlights the importance of meaningful communication, appropriate task complexity, learner autonomy, collaboration, and teacher support in creating engaging learning environments.
