摘要
In the EFL context,with the increasing popularity of task- based language teaching among primary and secondary school teachers,the understanding of'authenticity'appears as a problematic issue.This paper attempts to understand authenticity and tasks by providing each of them with a four-fold typology.Furthermore,it aims at developing a working model that can put authenticity and tasks together.With a sample practice,this paper concludes that authenticity should be understood as an underlying concept in and best incorporated into task design.
随着任务型教学在中小学英语教学中的广泛实践,外语教学界围绕这一教学形式展开了许多讨论。本文旨在澄清一些在理解真实性问题与任务型活动时出现的偏差。作者借助两个四层类型说分别解释了上述问题,并引入了一个操作模型以诠释两者间的关系。本文通过对《新目标英语》中相关语料的模型分析并设计任务,指出真实性是任务型活动设计的根本出发点和落脚点,因而在教学实践中要特别注重对两者的整合与探索。
