teaching methods, the first is (Task-based Language Teaching) TBLT and the
study found that initially, both groups of students had similar speaking

two teaching methods had different effects. The TSLT method improved
vocabulary diversity for the EIST group, while the ST group produced more
complex language with abstract words using the TBLT method. The ST group

test score increased to 79, and the average student engagement in the teaching and
