This article examines the design of multimedia-based tasks aimed at developing speaking skills in elementary-level students of secondary education. Although speaking is widely acknowledged as a central component of communicative competence, young learners often face difficulties in producing language spontaneously due to limited vocabulary, low confidence, and anxiety. Multimedia technologies, when carefully integrated into pedagogy, can create interactive, authentic, and motivating conditions for oral communication. The paper outlines theoretical underpinnings of multimedia-assisted language learning and emphasizes practical strategies for designing effective speaking tasks for younger learners. Task types such as digital storytelling, video role-plays, interactive dialogues, and collaborative multimedia projects are discussed about their classroom implementation. Challenges related to scaffolding, learner anxiety, and resource availability are also addressed. The article concludes that well-designed multimedia-based tasks not only enhance speaking proficiency but also foster confidence, creativity, and engagement among elementary-level learners.
