Task- based learning to enhance speaking skills for 10th graders.

Abstract

The present study was designed to determine how the Task Based Learning method improves speaking skills in the 10th grade. Most teachers use this methodology for students to improve their communication in the English language. This research had a qualitative method in which 5 teachers from the “Unidad Educativa Salinas Innova School” participated as a sample. An interview with 6 questions was applied for each of them to respond with their knowledge and personal ideas about the ability of speaking and about the influence of Task-Based Learning. It was possible to analyze how the teachers of this institution did not know the name of this method, but it was concluded that they apply it in their class unconsciously since they consider it very useful and effective at the time of performing communicative tasks for their students, which achieves great benefits for the students.
