Abstract:

For a student, who is leaning a new language, speaking skill usually poses challenges. To address these issues, a recent teaching approach Task-Based Learning (TBL) has become popular in EFL classrooms. This article explores how TBL contributes to the development of speaking skills in EFL students. The article reviews the theoretical foundations of TBL, its benefits, implementation challenges, and practical examples of its use in the classroom. It also discusses current research and new perspectives on the use of TBL to improve speaking skills. Finally, the importance of TBL as an effective method is highlighted and recommendations for teachers are offered.
