READING-DRIVEN TASKS AS A PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH TO ENHANCING READING SKILLS

Reading is a fundamental skill that assures academic success and lifelong learning. Research in applied linguistics and education has demonstrated that task-based learning approaches can significantly enhance reading proficiency. This study explores the role of reading-driven tasks in improving reading skills by examining their theoretical foundations, practical implementations, and effectiveness in fostering comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and critical thinking. Empirical evidence suggests that structured reading tasks promote deeper interaction with texts and facilitate meaningful learning experiences.
