Application of Task-based Language Teaching in English Reading in Middle School

摘要

阅读在英语学习中的重要性毋庸置疑，它为语言学习者提供输入。本世纪初，我国引入了任务型教学法。国内外的研究者表明，在阅读中使用任务型教学法有利于增加学生学习的兴趣，提高学生的阅读能力。尽管任务型教学法受到国内外学者的推崇，但是在我国至今还没有被广泛有效地采用。如何实施任务型教学法，有效提高学生的阅读水平，这一直是大家关心的问题。

全文共分为三章。第一章是文献综述，介绍了任务的定义；任务型教学法的定义，特征及设计原则；传统的英语阅读教学模式和当今英语教学现状。第二章论述任务型教学法在英语阅读教学中的应用。详细介绍了任务型教学法在英语阅读教学中应用的三个步骤和实施任务型教学法的问难与挑战。第三章是本文的重点，详细论述了任务型教学法在英语阅读教学中的具体实践。在高二年级两个班经过两个多月的实践，收集数据并分析结果，得出任务型教学法在英语阅读中的应用不仅能提高学生的阅读能力和阅读成绩，还能增加学生对阅读的兴趣。

由于作者的能力有限，任务型教学法在高中英语阅读中的应用还需要在今后的实践中进一步验证。

Chapter three is the key section of the thesis, which shows the practice of TBLT in English reading in detail. After two-month experiment on two classes of senior two, through data collection and results analysis, the author finds out that the use of TBLT in English reading can not only increase the students’ reading ability and reading grades, but improve students’ interest in reading.
