Incorporating Task-based Instruction Into Efl Speaking Classes: What Can Efl Teachers Say?



Authors : Tabouche Imene . Chelli Saliha .

Abstract

The present study aims at investigating teachers’ perspectives with regard to the use of Task-based instruction in EFL speaking classes at the Department of English at Annaba University. The ability to use and communicate appropriately in English is becoming increasingly necessary in general and in Algeria in particular. However, despite the insisting call for implementing learner-centered methods like Task-based instruction, there is a limited understanding concerning the adoption of this kind of approach. Moreover, different challenges still accompany the use of it. In order to reach the aforementioned objective, a qualitative method was used. More precisely, a structured interview was conducted with four EFL teachers. Results show that teachers have a positive attitude towards the impact of Task-based instruction on students’ speaking skill. Nevertheless, some obstacles like task design, large classes, and time constraint make the integration of this approach challenging.
