en The Influence of Task Type and Pre-Task Planning Condition on the Speaking Accuracy of Iranian EFL Learners عمومى General پژوهشي Research <p>This research investigated the impact of varying planning conditions and task types on the accuracy of pupils&#39; speaking abilities. Utilizing the Oxford Placement Test (OPT), 80 intermediate female participants nominated for the research and assigned to four untouched classes. These classes were planned as the individual-planning personal task class (IPPT class), the individual-planning decision-making task class (IPDT class), the class-planning personal task class (CPPT class), and the class-planning decision-making task class (CPDT class). Two concurrent decision making tasks were planned to be conducted both at the beginning and at the end of the experiment, while a six-week intervention was scheduled in between. Three sessions were dedicated to administering the OPT test, the pretest, and the posttest; and the students accomplished two dissimilar task types under two diverse planning situations throughout the other three treatment meetings. The results from the one-way ANOVA discovered that pre-task planning conditions and task types significantly influence the accuracy of speaking. These outcomes reinforce the notion that planning conditions have meaningful results on pupils&#39; accomplishment in personal and decision-making tasks. Consequently, both planning conditions proved real in enhancing students&#39; performance in speaking tasks. It is suggested that educators should give considerable attention to pre-task planning to alleviate EFL pupils&#39; challenges in attaining upper ranks of accuracy in their speaking abilities.<br> Keywords: accuracy, EFL context, speaking performance, p-task planning condition, task type</p> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="tab-stops:right 21.3pt"><span style="text-autospace:none"><span style="unicode-bidi:embed"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">This research investigated the impact of varying planning conditions and task types on the accuracy of pupils&#39; speaking abilities.
