外贸函电课程中的任务型教学法应用实践与效果评估

The Practice of the Task-based Language Teaching in Foreign Trade Correspondence and Its Effect Evaluation

在外贸函电课程中采用任务型教学法,有助于激发学生学习的主动性,提升学生的综合素质,锻炼解决实际问题的能力。但在外贸英语函电课程中如何评估学生的"任务"完成情况却少有学者提及。如果在外贸函电课程中实践任务型教学方法时,将"任务"设定在真实商业环境中,两种评估方法即可使用,一是学生是否真正投入商业环境,使用商业词汇;二是学生在沟通中是否以"共赢"为目标,提出创造性的解决方案。

The application of the Task-based language teaching in the course of foreign trade correspondence is helpful to stimulate students'initiative to study, enhance their comprehensive accomplishment, and practice their ability to solve concrete problems. But until now, few scholars have discussed how to evaluate those tasks carried out by the students. When the task-based language teaching is applied, and various tasks are set in the real commercial environment, then two standards could be adopted. First, whether the students are devoted into the real commercial environment and actively uses commercial vocabulary. Second, during their correspondence, whether the students regard 'win-win' as their purpose and hence raise creative solutions.
