The speaking capability of the second-semester students in STKIP Siliwangi BANDUNG can still be improved since they have the chance to change. The college location, the lecturers, and the students’ capability itself enable them to get the best result of the study. However, they still speak with hesitation since they feel not confidence to speak, or in the other way they lack motivation. Therefore, this study aims to improve the students speaking skill through Task-based Instruction.
