The design and application of task-based language teaching in college English speaking instruction
任务型教学法在大学英语口语教学中的设计与应用

摘要

任务型教学法（Task-Based Language Teaching，TBLT）是一种以任务为核心的外语教学方法，强调在真实或接近真实的语境中完成交际任务来促进语言学习。本文以大学英语口语教学为研究对象，系统探讨了TBLT的理论基础、设计原则和实施方法，旨在解决传统英语教学中重知识传授轻能力培养的问题。研究基于建构主义学习理论和社会互动理论，详细分析了TBLT教学流程中的任务前准备、任务中实施和任务后评价三个阶段，提出了真实性、实用性、趣味性和层次性四大设计原则。通过"模拟国际会议"等具体教学案例，验证了该方法在提升学生口语表达能力、跨文化交际能力和团队协作能力方面的显著效果。研究发现，TBLT不仅能有效激发学生的学习动机，培养其自主学习能力，还能促进语言知识向实际交际能力的转化。本研究为大学英语口语教学改革提供了理论依据和实践参考，对提高英语教学质量具有重要启示意义。

Abstract

Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) is a foreign language teaching methodology centered around tasks, emphasizing the completion of communicative tasks in authentic or near-authentic contexts to facilitate language learning. This study focuses on college English oral teaching and systematically explores the theoretical foundations, design principles, and implementation methods of TBLT, aiming to address the issue of traditional English teaching prioritizing knowledge transmission over skill development. Grounded in constructivist learning theory and social interaction theory, the research provides a detailed analysis of the three stages of TBLT teaching procedures: pre-task preparation, during-task implementation, and post-task evaluation. It proposes four key design principles: authenticity, practicality, interest, and gradation. Through specific teaching cases such as "simulated international conferences," the study validates the significant effectiveness of this approach in enhancing students' oral expression skills, cross-cultural communication abilities, and teamwork competencies. The findings indicate that TBLT not only effectively stimulates students' learning motivation and fosters their autonomous learning capabilities but also facilitates the transformation of language knowledge into practical communicative skills. This research provides theoretical foundations and practical references for the reform of college English oral teaching, offering important insights for improving the quality of English language education.
