浅议非英语专业英语口语教学改革

On Oral English Teaching Reform for Non-English Majors Students

非英语专业学生口语能力有待提高。如何提高学生的口语水平始终是英语教学中的难点和重点。传统教学模式下的大学英语教学束缚了学生学习潜能的发挥。大学英语教学模式的改革可以考虑采用“任务型教学法”。任务型教学模式是20年来交际教学思想的一种发展形态,它把语言运用的基本理念转化为具有实践意义的课堂教学模式。本研究将任务型教学理念应用于非英语专业英语口语教学之中,通过对任务型教学理论的定义、特征和理论基础等方面的阐析,提出任务型口语教学的总体设计思路和具体教学改革措施。
