Rationale Courses in (listening and) speaking skills have a prominent place in language programmes around the world today Ever-growing needs for fluency in English around the world as a consequence of the role of English as the world‟s international language have given priority to finding more effective ways to teach English (Richards, 2009) Vietnam is not out of this current trends for English teaching and learning The needs for meeting job requirements put students majored in business to enhancing their language skills and ability for international business communication However, the current situation of teaching and learning now in Vietnam is of critical problem to solve resulting from inappropriate teaching materials and instructional techniques Here comes the same context to what happens in the teaching and learning ESP at Vietnam University of Commerce The traditional method being applied now is mainly teacher-centered and lectureoriented, which commonly results in the passivity and non-involvement in speaking activities of students From all of the above, finding appropriate methods is an urge that the teachers here are striving for Willis and Willis (2007:1) asserts that “…the most effective way to teach a language is by engaging learners in real language use in the classroom This is done by designing tasks – discussions, problems, games, and so on – which require learners to use the language for themselves.” Other language researchers and practitioners like Candlin (1987), Swain (1995) and Hutchinson and Walter (1987) all agree that TBLT could bring good opportunities for students to master their language skills through numerous and useful kinds of tasks From this suggestion and above initial problems, the author decided to develop a quasi-experimental research on the use of task-based approach in teaching speaking for the 2nd year English majored students at Vietnam University of Commerce LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 35 textbook or teachers‟ suggestions), they had to digging other sources of materials in order to enhance input language and knowledge for the incoming task sessions The reason for ineffective preparation for speaking task topics starts from the lack of Internet connection at students‟ places due to economic issues or the limited sources of Business English knowledge relating to their must-be-prepared topics Also, nearly half of the students (42.5%) found it challenging to fulfill the tasks within rather limited time allowance during the speaking sessions Some of the students said that they still did not get used to this learning method and needed more instructions to solve the tasks However, it was still optimistic number of students evaluate the tasks adequate to their ability (57.5%) Other reasons went as „having less time for the tasks preparation because of the restricted time-table with other subjects‟, ‘hard to use audio-visual devices such as projector when presenting before class’, or ‘having trouble with group assigning and working at first’ 3.4 Students’ expectation of the improvement of the Task-based project In the questionnaire administered after the intervention, students are invited to express their ideas on what changes would be made in order to increase the effectiveness of the TBA on speaking learning process Those expectations of the improvement in the TB project were derived from the problems arising in students‟ task performance Towards the problem of time taking preparing and performing for group work tasks with a large number of students (75%) found it time consuming, it would suggest that the teacher should revise the instructions make her expectations of the students‟ performance clearer at the beginning of the project as well as provide them sources of materials that they might employ Another challenge students experience is how to make group forming and group working more effective would pedagogically suggest the teacher of better time allocation to for students to get prepared to learn how to use social skills of cooperation and collaboration what are always of great importance LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 36 Students also express their hope of having better facilities to improve their learning such as getting acquaintance to the hi-tech audio-visual devices (projectors, for example) Besides, the lack of soft skills such as presentation skills, group working skill that many students showed also called for teacher‟s concerns to support them LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 37 PART C: CONCLUSION 4.1 Recapitulation The study was conducted as an attempt to evaluate how a task-based approach could affect the learning process, learning outcome and students‟ motivation at Vietnam University of Commerce, English Faculty Firstly, a one group pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental design was applied to study the effects of integrating the TBL project on students‟ speaking achievement Research results show that there was a significant different in students‟ speaking performance on the oral tests It was supported by the result of the paired sample T-test with the significance value p = 000 < α = 05 Along with the experimental research, the study drew on qualitative data collected through administering a questionnaire to 40 second-year English majored students The data revealed that the TBL project had positive consequences of learner motivation and optimistic changes in students‟ attitudes towards learning speaking Student learning in the task-based project was enhanced and became more satisfying compared to their conventional learning Lastly, after the research, the author concluded that there were some advantages or benefits for students when integrating the task-based approach into the existing course at VUC:  The TBL project encourages the speaking learning amongst students as they have chance to engage themselves to purposeful speaking activities as well as to take initiative in preparing knowledge related to business issues It means that students tend to focus not only on the language itself but the tasks  The TBL project enhances learners‟ motivation and involvement as it is authentic and beneficial to their progress making in learning Business English Students then can not only master the language but also use their speaking skills in different situations relevant to their future jobs or real life LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 38  TBL fosters student independence and autonomy in learning Throughout the project, students have to work mainly on themselves under the instructions and supervision of the teacher The topics preparation as an requirement would also strengthen students‟ research skills and let it become a learning habit of students  Lastly, to some extent, TBL seems to promote cooperative learning and collaboration among students as they have to form groups and have to work together in order to solve tasks In general, the findings of the present research would have a significant contribution to the improvement in teaching and learning English speaking skill at VUC 4.2 Limitations of the study Due to various constrains and scope of the study, the present research displays certain limitations First of all, due to objective conditions, the time duration of the intervention was limited in just six weeks and the design was one group pre-test/ post-test design, not the true experiment which may bring a more distinctive comparison to the effectiveness of applying the task-based approach on the learning process Second, the small target population (40 second-year English major students at VUC) might have affected the results of the findings and implications of the study The results of the study would have been more persuasive if the research had involved more participants Last, due to the shortage of knowledge and experience in doing the research, the study cannot cover other factors affecting the speaking achievement of students such as the perception of difficulty level of the tasks employed Teachers generally depends on their intuition about how well the learner can deal with specific tasks It might lead to the fact that there may be better learning outcome associated with the suitability of the tasks 4.3 Suggestions for further study The limitation and the scope of the study leaves the gaps for other researches in the field of using TBA on teaching English skills to fill in First, the study was carried out with the second year Business English students whose ESP knowledge LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 39 and language competency were rather low; therefore, the approach can be applied to the third-year and senior students Second, other language skills such as writing/ listening/ reading can be investigated how effective the TBA can LUAN
