以任务为基础的教学途径初探

An Approach to Task-based Teaching Method

以任务为基础的教学途径以现代语言学习理论、认知心理学、人本主义心理学理论为基础 ,摒弃传统的以教师为中心的观念 ,主张语言学习以学习者为中心。它所关注的是 :在语言学习过程中 ,教师是否是从“学”的角度来设计教学活动 ,是否为学习者设计了交际任务。它要求学习者主动参与真实的交际活动 ,运用目的语完成活动任务 ,通过活动的开展和任务的完成 ,发展认知能力 ,形成语言能力。应用以任务为基础的教学途径 ,对于当前我国外语教学中所存在的重教师的讲授、轻学生的学习 ;重语言形式、轻语言内容 ;重语言知识、轻语言能力等弊端 。

The task-based teaching method is based on the theories of modern linguistics, recognition psychology, humanism psychology and on the learner-centered ideas, instead of being based on teacher-centered ideas. This method focuses on whether teachers design their activities from the angle of learning, whether teachers design communication tasks in the course of language learning. It also requires learners to actively participate in real communication activities, to actively accomplish tasks by using target languages, to develop recognition ability and language ability. It plays an important role in foreign languages learning and is helpful in getting rid of the phenomena of attaching importance to teachers' teaching, language form and language knowledge but belittling students' learning, language contents and students' language abilities.
