| Summary: | The present research aims at determining the effects of the Task Based Approach on
Business students‘ writing skills so as to suggest and recommend it or discourage its use at
English for Business Purposes classrooms. The effect of the Task Based Approach has been
measured in different English teaching and learning environments. However, only few
studies have been carried out to test the effect of the approach in ESP settings. This
research goes further than just implementing the Task Based Approach in ESP classes but it
attempts to examine the effect of this teaching pedagogy on students writing skills. It is
known that professionals in different business fields communicate mostly via writing, for
this reason, writing skill was chosen among other language skills because of its importance
to the students 3rd year LMD Banking and Insurance the sample that represents the whole
population, that is, the Faculty of Business and Economics at Laghouat University and
professional business areas. The current study aims at empirically examining the effect of
the Task based Approach. However, random assignment of the participants in this
educational experiment was impossible for the researcher, so a quasi-experimental design
was utilised to provide as accurate and valid results as possible. The participants in the
control and experimental groups were tested before and after the implementation of the
Task Based Approach to statistically measure the effects of this teaching approach. The
findings showed that the Task Based Approach improved the writing skills of the
experimental group in comparison to the control group which was taught using the regular
teaching methodology. Pedagogically, the Task Based Approach can be utilised to bring
closer the ESP classes to the professional world as the approach is built on real-world tasks
to enable the students of business to live up to the expectations and requirements of a
globalised and demanding business world.
