Abstract

In order to design or choose the most appropriate task for the speaking class with the purpose of helping learners to better develop their speaking skills, first of all, the idea of what a speaking task actually is should be clear in mind. Then the elements that constitute a speaking task are also needed to be known and taken into careful consideration before employment. Besides, the knowledge of features of a speaking task is also essential, because it could provide teachers a clear guide in designing successful speaking tasks.
