This study examined the difference between the performances of male and female EFL learners on three task-based activities. A random sample of 120 participants in an Iranian English school (in Mashhad) was drawn from the pre-intermediate level (60 male and 60 female). Students' performances of three task types were evaluated using a validated rating checklist with a reliability of 0.87. The results proved that there was no significant difference between the task-based performances of male and female students suggesting that the gender imposes no difference on EFL learners' performances of task-based activities.
