Key Points

To synthesize the long-term effectiveness of task-based language teaching (TBLT) implementation on second language learning outcomes in authentic classroom settings.
Conducted a meta-analysis synthesizing quantitative and qualitative findings across a sample of 52 studies evaluating classroom TBLT programs.
Analyzed potential moderators of learning gains, including geographic program region, institution type, use of needs analysis, and implementation cycles.
Demonstrated an overall strong positive effect of TBLT implementation on second language learning outcomes (d = 0.93).
Identified significant moderating influences from programmatic and methodological features, alongside consistently positive stakeholder perceptions of TBLT.
