Abstract: This article delves into the crucial role of task-based instructions in enhancing the speaking skills of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. The introduction underscores the significance of speaking skills in language acquisition and highlights the challenges faced by EFL learners in developing effective communication abilities. Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) is then explored, defining its principles and emphasizing its focus on communication and real-world language use. Theoretical underpinnings of language acquisition theories supporting task-based instructions are discussed, emphasizing how tasks provide meaningful contexts for language learning.
