Abstract
The effects of a task-based learning (TBL) approach on learner progress in L2 public speaking are investigated through questionnaires, a case study, and student evaluations. The 34 completed questionnaires showed that all of the students made generic preparations for their flrst individual speech, but relevant and unique improvements for the second one. Speeches given in English by two Chinese undergraduate students in the same Public Speaking course were analyzed in detail to identify phonological improvements in accuracy and fluency. The paper concludes that task-based instruction supports learner-initiated learning opportunities outside the classroom, thus encouraging greater learner improvements.
