... skill increased and was categorized as high (15.45). Furthermore, there was a signicant difference on students' communicative skill before and after the treatment (t-value > t-table = 5.585 > 2.021). It implies that the task-based learning through video-making task signicantly enhanced students' communicative skills. Finally, some implications for language learning regarding the results of the study were also presented.
