Ítem Impact of the task-based approach on teenage EFL learners' motivation and oral performance in a private school in Chile(Universidad Andrés Bello, 2012) Orellana Lastra, Ricardo; Sainte-Marie Hudson, M. Consuelo; Villouta Mery, Viviana; Wulff Becerra, Paulina.; Veas Fáundez, Candy; Facultad de Humanidades y Educación; Escuela de EducaciónThe Chilean Ministry of Education has incorporated changes to the national curriculum and considered the taskbased approach as a plan to improve English teaching in the country. Due to grammar-based lessons, Chilean students do not develop language proficiency according to international standards and they strive to communicate in English with other people. The main objective of the present study is to investigate the efficiency of this methodology regarding oral language production by conducting a task-based pedagogical intervention in a private school in Viña del Mar. The outcomes of the investigation show that the intervention group obtained better results in regards to oral performance improvement in the target language, lending support to the view that communicative competence can be fostered with the task-based approach.
