Communicative competence is a fundamental goal of second language acquisition, encompassing linguistic, sociolinguistic, discourse, and strategic competence. However, traditional language instruction often fails to provide sufficient opportunities for meaningful communication. Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) has emerged as an effective pedagogical approach that promotes language learning through the completion of meaningful tasks. This study investigates the role of TBLT in enhancing students’ communicative competence through the use of authentic texts. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the study involved 26 intermediate-level EFL university students who participated in a six-week instructional intervention based on authentic-text-driven tasks. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test communicative competence assessments and classroom observations. The findings indicate significant improvement in students’ fluency, interactional ability, and pragmatic use of language. The study concludes that TBLT, when combined with authentic texts, significantly enhances communicative competence in EFL contexts.
