Resumen
Technology-Mediated Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) has emerged as a transformative pedagogical approach in modern language education, merging the principles of communicative language teaching with digital technological advancements. This systematic review comprehensively examines the multifaceted effects of technology-mediated TBLT on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners' linguistic achievement and affective outcomes across diverse educational contexts. The review synthesized 15 empirical studies published between 2020-2025, employing rigorous systematic literature review methodology with explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results demonstrated that technology-mediated TBLT significantly enhances learners' speaking fluency, writing competence, reading comprehension, and conversational interaction skills through authentic, meaningful task engagement. Furthermore, the approach profoundly influences learners' motivational constructs, engagement patterns, self-efficacy beliefs, and autonomous learning capabilities. The most effective technologies identified include mobile-assisted learning platforms, virtual reality environments, collaborative digital tools, and AI-enhanced learning systems. Critical analysis revealed that successful implementation requires adequate teacher technological pedagogical content knowledge, institutional technological infrastructure, and careful curricular alignment. The findings strongly suggest that technology-mediated TBLT represents a robust and effective approach for contemporary language teaching, though further longitudinal and mixed-methods research is needed across diverse educational contexts and learner populations to fully understand its long-term impacts and implementation nuances
