THE IMPORTANCE OF TASK-BASED LEARNING IN DEVELOPING SPEAKING SKILLS

Abstract

This article investigates the role of task-based learning to improve student’s oral communication skills. Task-based language teaching, or TBLT is a method that gives students a genuine context for language use through communicative activities. Nowadays, task-based language learning is rather popular as a component of the broader communicative approach. As opposed to some of the more traditional techniques like grammar-translation or the audio-lingual approach, this emphasizes the need for students to be proficient communicators.
