任务型教学法亟待本土化改造

Prompt Localization of Task-based Language Teaching to Be Demanded

任务型教学是在国外二语教学背景下从交际语言教学理论发展出来的一种新的教学途径,要把它广泛地应用于缺乏目的语环境的我国基础外语教学,存在着诸多的不适应。中国缺乏实施任务型教学的环境,缺乏实施任务型教学的合格师资队伍,缺乏广泛实施任务型教学的受众群体。对任务型教学法实施"本土化"改造,要用"学"的规律来指导"教"的方式,要区分课程性质、课程内容、学习阶段以及学习对象,要结合中国外语教学实际,博采众长,合理取舍任务型教学法的原则与步骤,推广前任务与语言焦点两大教学环节,有限使用任务循环环节,以适当降低难度系数,增加可操作性。

The task- based language teaching is a new teaching approach developed from the communicative language teaching（CLT） theory in the TESL context,and there is much inadaptafion to have it widely used in China＇ s fundmental foreign language teaching that lacks the target language environment. In tiffs paper, the core concept of task - based approach, its relations with CLT in history and theory, its pros and cons, and the constraints arising from Chinese foreign language teaching practice are discussed to serve as a modest spur to induce someone to come forward with his valuable contributions and appeal for clarifying the misunderstanding in tile application of task - based approach in our foreign language teaching and learning activities as soon as possible so as to create a flexible and comprehensive coneept of a foreign language teaching that well combines all the advantages of each pedagogy into one.
