摘要
As a new ideology, task-based instruction aims at achieving the balanced development of language. The paper reviews the origin, the development and the future of task-based instruction, with the aim of providing a clear picture of tasks and task-based instruction and in the hope of removing doubts and suspicions and pointing out the problems faced by task-based instruction.
语言意义和语言形式的平衡发展是语言教学追求的理想目标。基于任务的教学法体现了这一思想。本着描述任务及任务型教学法发展与演变的目的,本文对其起源、理论依据、基本思想及发展脉络逐一进行了介绍、评述,并指出任务型教学法要取得语言意义与形式平衡发展这一根本教学目的,其今后的研究重点将集中在探索影响意义和形式的具体因素如任务复杂度、任务难度和任务条件等方面。尤其是任务复杂度的研究将决定着任务教学法的前景。
