Abstract:
Speaking skill is a crucial component of English language learning, especially for EFL students in primary schools,
where opportunities to practice real-life communication are limited. This gap between theoretical teaching
strategies and classroom practice highlights the need for more interactive and learner-centered approaches. This
study explores how Mingle Game Activities within a Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) framework can
improve students’ speaking skills. A quasi-experimental method was employed, using a pretest-posttest design
with control and experimental groups. Speaking tests were used to assess students’ performance, and the data were
analyzed using paired and independent sample t-tests. The results revealed a significant improvement in the
experimental group’s speaking skills, particularly in vocabulary usage, fluency, and confidence. These findings
suggest that Mingle Game Activities are a promising strategy to foster student engagement and enhance speaking
ability in interactive English learning environments within EFL classrooms.
