Abstract

This study aimed to explore beliefs and actual classroom practices of EFL teachers in using tasks online to improve the speaking ability of students in a Chinese university, and provide suggestions to EFL teachers who use tasks to improve the speaking ability of students in online teaching. The study used a questionnaire as a pre-study, and based on the results of the questionnaire, a semi-structured interview was used to further investigate the situation and experiences of teachers and students about the use of tasks. Some suggestions are provided for EFL teachers who are involved in online classrooms in task design, task implementation and students’ evaluation, such as effectively integrating of multiple teaching resources, actively updating task modes and willingly to accepting students’ diverse forms of assignment (videos, voice-covers, role plays, etc.). It is expected that the findings will be an effective reference for EFL teachers for using tasks to improve students’ speaking ability in online classrooms in the future.
