IMPROVING SPEAKING SKILLS IN EMGLISH CLASSES THROUGH TASK BASED APPROACH
Abstract
This article is about developing students’ ability to speak English through task based approach. Task-based speaking activities have attracted considerable attention of many researchers in teaching and learning speaking skills. The current study is aimed at investigating the effects of Task-based speaking activities. This study highlights the effectiveness of role-play activities in developing learners’ English-speaking skills and communicative competence. Role play provides authentic communication opportunities, increases learners’ confidence, and encourages active participation in meaningful language use. The findings suggest that a task-oriented role-play approach can successfully bridge the gap between language-learning theory and classroom practice.
