任务型语言教学是针对语法翻译法和听说法的问题而提出来的,其目的是使学生通过运用语言完成任务的方式学习语言(即Learning by doing)。它是通过课堂教学让学生去用英语完成各种真实的任务:生活、学习、工作等,从而获得运用英语的能力。任务型教学关键在于任务的设计,它必须具有真实性、意义性、运用性、互动性、结构性和差距性。 Task-based language teaching is proposed for the problems of grammar translation and listening and speaking. Its purpose is to enable students to learn language by using language to accomplish tasks (that is, Learning by doing). It is through classroom teaching that students can use English to complete a variety of real tasks: life, study, work, etc., in order to gain the ability to use English. The key to task-based teaching lies in the design of tasks. It must be authentic, meaningful, operational, interactive, structural, and disparate.
