description: Speaking is a crucial part of second and foreign language learning and  teaching. Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) has become popular in the  field of foreign language teaching and learning. In TBLT, task complexity  should be the sole basis for making prospective sequencing decisions since it  can be anticipated in advance of implementation of syllabus. The current  research aimed to investigate the effect of four types of task complexity  manipulated along with the number of elements and prior knowledge on  students’ spoken performance in terms of complexity, accuracy, and fluency  (CAF) and to eleborate the students’ perceptions of the four types of task  complexity. This research used quantitative method. The istruments were four  types of monolog tasks and questionnairres. The data took the forms of a  students’ utterences and students’ perception. The subjects were 33 of the  tenth grade students of SMAN 2 Padang Cermin. The result showed that the  tasks which are made simple or complex in resource-directing (number of  elements) generated more fluent utterences on the students’ spoken  performance since they were simple in resource-depleting (prior knowledge).  This finding partly supports the cognition hypothesis. With respect to the  students’ perceptions, the current research found out that prior knowledge  became the major reason for the students to do the task easily, successfully,  and confidently. It also arises the students’ interest, motivation, and learning  opportunity. The finding suggests that task complexity which is manipulated  along with the number of elements and prior knowledge facilitates students to  improve the speaking performance.  Key words: Speaking, TBLT, task complexity, CAF, students’ perceptions.
