This study aimed to explore the effect of the Task-based method on the learners’ attitudes toward learning listening skills using this approach. In this paper, thirty university students who are at the intermediate level learned the Task-based method in classes at Van Lang University, and after that, they expressed their minds in the questionnaire so as to explore whether this type of teaching could help them improve or not. What is really important here is their attitudes in completing the listening tasks as well as indicating their views by responding to the questionnaire. Additionally, the specific descriptive data provided in this paper after collecting their responses are yielded to reach the planned targets at the end. More specifically, students held positive attitudes towards the Task-based approach in developing listening skills and believed it was useful in enhancing their listening competencies. The task-based approach to listening will help the teacher select a more compatible method for every class in the foreseeable future.References
