Abstract Task- based language teaching (TBLT) is an important language teaching method put forward by Prabhu in the 1980s. With the wide implementation of New Curriculum Standards for full-time Compulsory Education, TBLT has played an increasingly influential role in China. There are plenty of researches focusing on the study of TBLT. However, most of the papers are concerned with the theoretical exploration of TBLT, not concrete study of TBLT. We have such questions like: What has TBLT brought for the foreign language teaching in China? How much do English teachers know about TBLT? What are the teachers’ attitudes towards TBLT? Whether TBLT is suitable for Chinese Classes? It’s necessary to think about these questions. Based on the above questions, the thesis can be pided into five chapters. Chapter I briefly introduces the background of the research as well as purpose and significance of the research. Chapter II shows the definitions of task and TBLT, and presents a literature review on TBLT at home and abroad. Chapter III is about the research methodology, containing the research questions, and descriptions of participants and instruments. Chapter IV provides data analysis results and discussion of the study. Chapter V concludes the thesis with a discussion of limitation and also some constructive suggestions for middle school English teachers. 47420

摘要自20世纪80年代任务型教学提出以来,它在中小学中已经成为一种重要的教学手段。随着《新课标》对全日制义务教育的改革,任务型教学法在中国显然已经成为一种新的教学方法。现实生活中不乏许多学者对任务型教学的研究,但是绝大部分研究都是注重于理论探究而缺乏对任务型教学实际应用过程中的研究。因此,我们常常有许多类似于这样的问题,比如说任务型教学方法的实施到底对中国的教育有何影响呢?老师们对任务型教学的了解程度如何?他们对任务型教学的实施又持何种态度?等等这一系列问题都值得我们探讨。因此为了更好的了解任务型教学在中国的现状,本论文分为五个章节。章节一简单的介绍了任务型教学的背景知识以及本论文研究的目的和意义。章节二解释了什么是“任务”,什么是“任务型教学”,以及有关中外研究任务型教学的总结,并从建构主义和交互观的角度对任务型教学开展的理论背景作以分析。章节三是有关于研究任务型教学现状所采用的方法,包括研究问题,参与研究的主体以及研究工具。章节四讨论了调查结果,主要分四部分分析调查结果。章节五是对本论文的总结并在研究的基础上对中学课堂实施任务型教学提出几条建设性意见。
