Abstract

This present research explores the effectiveness of the Task-Based Language Teaching approach in developing the speaking proficiency among EFL learners. The present cross-sectional study targeted 80 freshmen students at the University of Algiers 2, English Department. It adapted the mixed-methods design in which the tools for collecting data are questionnaires for quantitative and interviews for qualitative. The results showed that TBLT significantly increases students' oral proficiency, along with favorable attitudes by both students and teachers toward the approach. It concludes with pragmatic recommendations for future integration of TBLT into EFL curricula to advance the speaking skills of the students.
