People use language to communicate together, they try every
time to learn how to speak and contact using one language. Oral
communication is the commonest and most important mean of
providing communication among human beings. It is an
interactive process of constructing meaning that involves
producing, receiving and processing information. Brown (2001:
29). Accordingly, when people learn to communicate, they are
concerned with knowing what to say and what words and phrases
to use in the same time.
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of a TaskBased learning program on developing Communicative
performance for Al- Azhar University Students, Faculty of law.
The study was conducted in Teeba Faculty for girls, Luxor,
following the experimental design. For this purpose, two groups
were randomly chosen, a group as a control one and the other is an
experimental group. Students of the experimental group were
trained on the proposed program.
To test the program's effectiveness, pre and post tests were
administered on both groups. Results showed that the performance
of the experimental group students was better than the control
group due to the effect of the proposed program. Results also
indicated that developing communicative performance helped
developing the general language proficiency of the experimental
group students. The study recommended TBL as a course design approach
to be implemented in designing English for university students
courses. Interest should also be paid for the pre-course design
stages. The study suggested further researches to be conducted in
English using different approaches and exploring other English
skills in different specialization and careers.
