Language teaching is not just about teaching languages, it is also about helping students to develop themselves as people.  Task-based language teaching (TBLT) proposes the use of tasks as a central component in the language classroom because they provide better contexts for activating learner acquisition processes and promoting second language learning. Speaking skill is one of the crucial parts learning and teaching another language. In the process of the learning speaking skills, the students learn to communicate in real situations. This article discussed the methods which are helpful and effective for the students’ speaking skills related to the task-based language. Moreover, there are three phrases of task-based language: pre-task, task and language focus.
