Abstract

Task-based activities aids the fluency and self-assurance in learning a foreign or second language. This strategy emphasizes giving students practical assignments they must finish in order to learn. In order to increase their overall language ability, students are required to focus on specific language abilities. Researchers and teachers of second and foreign languages have discovered that TBLT can be a helpful teaching and learning method. Investigating how task-based reading instruction affects EFL students' reading proficiency in Kurdistan Region of Iraq schools was the motivation behind carrying out this research. (92) Advanced Kurdish English language learners were the subjects of the study and were randomly allocated to 2 sets: the experimental set and the control set. While the control group engaged in more conventional exercises to hone their reading skills, the experimental group engaged in task-based teaching techniques. In order to gather pre-test and post-test data from students who completed two paper-based IELTS reading test , the researcher created a reading test. Social Research Statistical Package was used to examine the data and determine each student's unique skills and talents. The current study procedure made use of statistic tools, T-test and variation analysis was employed to examine the obtained data. After one month of vocabulary education (February 2023) in which the lessons were delivered for three hours per day, six days per week, the reading test was given. While the experimental group received instruction that relied on pampering the learners with reading comprehension strategies, the control set simply received conventional direction. The analysis of data showed that, at every single level of the Subsequent testing reading skills, there was a considerable variance between the mean scores of the 2 sets, favoring the experimental set. The researcher makes several recommendations in light of those findings that are intended to be useful for ELT, supervisors, and syllabus designers.
