Abstract

Abstract
Task-Based Instruction (TBI) has gained prominence as an effective method in
language teaching, particularly for enhancing communicative competence. However,
its implementation in multilingual and multicultural classrooms presents unique
challenges. This paper explores these challenges through a mixed-methods study
conducted in diverse educational settings. The findings highlight issues related to
linguistic diversity, cultural differences, teacher preparedness, and student
engagement. The study concludes with recommendations for overcoming these
challenges to optimize the benefits of TBI in such complex learning environments.
