This article investigates the influence of task complexity on the development of reproductive skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. Reproductive skills, encompassing listening and reading comprehension, are crucial for language learners' proficiency. The study explores how varying task complexities affect EFL students' acquisition and application of reproductive skills. The research synthesizes existing literature, examining methodologies, findings, and theoretical frameworks to elucidate the relationship between task complexity and reproductive skill development. The conclusion provides insights into implications for EFL pedagogy and avenues for future research.
