dc.description.abstract	Practice has shown that low-level proficiency students have problems expressing themselves using accurate, fluent and even simple sentences. This is reflected in their finaloral exams. Hesitation to speak English might be because students have underdeveloped speaking skills as they do not use the language in real-life situations. For this reason students need extensive help and exposure to the English language.Task-based language teaching is an approach seeking to provide learners with anatural context for language use. As learners work to complete a task, they have abundant opportunity to interact. Such interaction is thought to facilitate language acquisition aslearners have to work to understand each other and to express their own meaning (Larsen-Freeman 2000:114).The paper elaborates and analyzes the effectiveness of the task-based learning approach on the development of students speaking skills in academic settings.
