Speaking is one of the four macro skills to be developed as a means of effective communication in both first and second language
learning contexts. In the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pedagogy environment, how to increase speaking competence and
confidence for undergraduate students tends to be a crucial question among instructors. This concern led to a qualitative research
design as an action study in a regular course employing a task-based approach. The findings indicated that confidence, creativity
of topics, and speaking competence were the key aspects of improvement when speaking to the audience.
