This article describes a research project carried out with a group of ninth grade students at the Institución Educativa Distrital Britalia, in Bogotá. The starting point was a needs analysis which revealed the lack of practice regarding speaking skills. Three interactive tasks, a free conversational activity, and basic oral defenses were designed and implemented. Direct observation, videos and audiotapes provided evidence of the improvement of students’ oral communication. The changes in the pedagogical practice, in the role of the teacher, in the syllabus design and in learners’ attitudes towards their learning process were recorded as the main results of the action research project. Key words: Oral communication, interactive tasks, task-based learning Este artículo describe un proyecto de investigación desarrollado con un grupo de estudiantes de noveno grado en la Institución Educativa Distrital Britalia, en Bogotá.
