It shades light on the relevant literature reviewed and studies on TBLT. At the same time, t he speaking skill and s peaking sub-skills are introduced as a base for t eaching and developing speaking activities. On the other hand, the paper reflects on implementing task-based instruction and the p rinciples for implementation by drawing a framework for implementation, and factors affecting implementation of TBI. On the above findings, the researcher recommends that teaching instruction should be given more attention in EFL classes in the light of using task-based approach. Also the researcher suggests that further research is needed to explore more in the effectiveness of task-based programs on EFL learner’s performance as well as its fluency.
