Abstract

This research is based on the researcher's observations made in the classroom, which showed that uninteresting and non-interactive teaching methods deprive students of the confidence to practice speaking and demonstrate speaking skills appropriate to the topic and their abilities. Instead, students feel that they have the freedom to express their ideas and creativity through teacher-given assignments. The sluggish development of speaking abilities as measured by several factors, including grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency, results in poor speaking skill scores.

The problem studied is whether there is an influence of task-based language teaching treatment on improving students' speaking skills and how effective the use of the task-based language teaching method is in improving speaking skills.The design of this research was experimental, the researcher used a quantitative approach with the research subjects being 11th grade students majoring in marketing at SMK PGRI 2 SUTOJAYAN with a sample size of 30 students. This research data was obtained from pre-test and post-test scores from speaking practice and questionnaires.

The research results showed that the average student score increased from 48.08 on the pre-test to 56.41 on the post-test. The 30 students' pre-test and post-test results showed a significant value of (0.014) < (0.05) with Paired sample statistical tests revealing a 0.032 connection between the questionnaire responses on the impact of task-based language instruction on speaking abilities acquired by 30 students. This correlation, which is 39.2%, is weak according to the degree of relationship rules. The calculation results of the calculated t value of 3.196 > 2.045 shows that the calculated t value is greater than the t table, meaning that task-based language teaching is effective and has a positive influence on the speaking skills of the majority of eleventh-grade students at SMK PGRI 2 SUTOJAYAN
