Abstract

This article analyzes the typology and methodological foundations of learner-centered independent tasks in English language education, emphasizing their importance in the independent work of students in language universities. Tasks are categorized as information-gap, opinion-gap, reasoning-gap, closed or open-ended, individual or collaborative, as well as pedagogical and real-world oriented. Methodological principles include authenticity, scaffolding, autonomy, clear guidance, collaboration, reflection, and multi-dimensional evaluation. These principles strengthen learners’ responsibility, motivation, and engagement, while redefining the teacher’s role as a facilitator. Findings highlight that well-designed learner-centered tasks develop language competence alongside critical thinking, self-regulation, and cooperation, supporting lifelong learning
