Objective to analyze the benefits of using the task-based approach to strengthen writing fluency in the English language teaching-learning process in postgraduate Health professionals.
Methods pedagogical research that included a group of Health professionals, who completed the English language postgraduate course at the Sancti Spíritus University of Medical Sciences, during the 2020-2021 academic year. Documentary review, class observation, discussion groups, interviews and methodological triangulation.
Results the application of different methods and techniques corroborated that the health professionals presented difficulties in fluency in writing; they spent too much time reviewing ideas; in addition to incurring in unnecessary repetitions, poor syntactic elaboration and writing of short sentences. The use of the task approach was implemented with encouraging results.
Conclusion through the qualitative assessment, the benefits of the task-based approach were evidenced, after its application in the postgraduate course of Health professionals, by favoring the strengthening of fluency in writing the English language.
