Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation and impact of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) in improving speaking proficiency. The research focuses on two key aspects: first, explaining the integration of TBLT principles within the existing curriculum, particularly in terms of task design, sequencing, and implementation strategies; second, analysing the impact of TBLT on students' speaking proficiency. The study assesses measurable improvements in fluency, accuracy, complexity, and confidence levels in spoken communication. Through both qualitative and quantitative methods, the findings provide insights into how TBLT enhances student performance in a real-world classroom setting, offering practical implications for language educators seeking to improve speaking skills in a similar educational context
