The objectives of this research were to 1) examine the factors affecting communication ability for undergraduate normal students, 2) develop task-based learning and blended learning instructional model to enhance communication ability for undergraduate normal students and
3) examine the effects of implementing task-based learning and blended learning instructional model to enhance communication ability for undergraduate normal students. There are 3 phases was conducted to answer research objectives 1, 2, 3.The sample group of Phase 1 were 75 formal students who enrolled Teacher's language and communication art  Course semester 1 in academic year 2023, selected by Random Sampling and 3 lecturers who teach Teacher's language and communication art  Course from Baise University, Yulin Normal University and Guangxi Science & Technology Normal University.3 experts were confirmed the task-based learning and blended learning  instructional model in Phase 2, and the sample group of Phase 3 were 50 students who enrolled Teacher's language and communication art Course of Baise University semester 1 in academic year 2024 .The research instruments were 1) a set of questionnaires for students and interview for lecturers, 2) a set of questionnaires for confirming instructional model, 3) 2 units of lesson plan and 4) Scoring Rubric.
