Abstract
Developing speaking skill has become a priority for many second and foreign language learners in English as a Second Language/ English as Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) contexts and they need to be provided with opportunities to speak accurately and fluently. To reach to this goal, task repetition is performance tool to ameliorate learners’ speaking performance. Thus, this paper used intermediate Iranian female learners (N = 21) with an age range of 12-15 to investigate the effect of task repetition on their accuracy and fluency of speaking skill. Learners were divided into two experimental (n = 12) and control (n = 9) groups. The experimental group received intervention focusing on repeating the tasks for 6 sessions, whereas the control group received conventional input without receiving the intervention. The results showed that learners in the experimental group completed task repetition outperformed better than the other learners in the control group. Also, the findings of pre-test and post-test showed that task repetition led to improvement in the intermediate learners’ accuracy and fluency in speaking skill.
