摘  要

听说读写是语言学习的四个基本要素，想要学好一门语言，必须均衡这四项技能。但是在中国，任务型语言教学被广泛地用于阅读与写作，很少用在听力教学上。众所周知，中国学生的听力水平是十分薄弱的。近几年来，由于听力逐渐重要，学校才开始重视学生的听力水平，而其中最重要的是找到一条提高学生听力水平的途径。本篇论文讨论了如何有效地应用任务型语言教学，提高学生的听力水平。任务型教学法将教师型教学方法改为以学生为中心，是一条有效地提高学生听力水平的教学方法，能在一定程度上提高学生的英语听力水平。本文采用文献综述法论证任务型教学法是否适用于高中英语听力教学，但是事物都有两面性，任务型教学法也不是完美的。

Abstract

Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the four basic skills of language competence. To master a language needs the balanced development of all these four skills. But in China, listening is always ignored by teachers for a long period of time. What’s more, many students are not interested in listening, and they have low level of listening, which is a vicious spiral. The worse ability students had, the less interest they have in learning. Recently, many articles have been written on the application of the Task-based Language Teaching in reading, speaking and writing, but few of them were written the application to listening. This thesis is focused on the application to listening, and it offers a study on literature review and Task-based Language Teaching. Lots of works and the experienced teaching on Task-based Language Teaching show us that this kind of teaching method is a valid way which changes the teacher-centered teaching method to student-centered, and also can reflect the language value. This essay also presents a study on the literature review of listening comprehension and the Task-based Language Teaching. But every coin has two sides. He Task-based Language Teaching is not the perfect way.

Key words: Task-based language teaching; listening ability; listening comprehension in senior school

1 Introduction
1.1 Research background

What’s more, English is important also because you need to be able to express yourself intelligently and articulately so that others can understand you clearly such as when you want to get a job etc.
