This paper describes the applications of the task-based approach to designing a syllabus for an oral communication skills course in an academic setting. It discusses the goals of the course within the relevant institutional contexts, outlines the principles of the task-based design, describes and classifies the tasks, and provides a descriptive account of the organization and sequencing of the tasks in the course schedule. It argues that such an approach has much potential in second language curriculum development.
