内容提要:为培养更多适应经济全球化的外语人才,教育部于 2001 年 7 月制定了新的
《英语课程标准》,并明确指出:“教师应该避免单纯传授语言知识的教学方法,尽量采用‘任
务型’的教学途径,主张把对学生综合语言能力的培养落实在教学过程中。”因此,在国外
盛行已久的任务型教学法( Task-Based Language Teaching Approach)正式被引进于我国
中小学英语教学范畴并引起了广泛的讨论与研究。
本文追根溯源,从任务型教学法的理论起源着手,分析了与任务型教学法相关的交际型
municative Language Teaching)的联系与区别,并比较了各个学派对任务型教
学法的核心“任务”所作的定义。同时,本文还涉及了这种新兴教学法在操作实施过程中所
遇到的种种困难,例如,如何把握任务难度设计出合理的交际任务,以及评估任务型教学法
目前的实施状况。由于深圳市的英语教学质量与成绩在广东省名列前茅,而又以南山区的教
学成果尤为突出,该区被评为全国教育强区,因此,本文将对位于南山区的两所重点学校的
师生进行关于任务型教学法实施的抽样问卷调查。通过对所收集的问卷数据进行平均数法及
百分比法分析,以此来评价这种新型教学法的实施情况,发现实施过程中的问题并对问题进
行反思,最后借鉴国内外教学法的研究成果对相关问题对症下药,为这种教学法指明发展方
向。

教师点评:该论文立意新颖, 结构严谨, 且逻辑清晰。整篇论文显示了作者扎实的英
语写作功底。论文以实际收集的数据为素材, 对其进行了较为透彻和详细的分析, 其研究
结果对中小学英语教学实践具有一定的参考和指导意义。不足之处是数据分析的手段过于
单一, 且最后一章讨论部分还缺乏充分。但总体而言, 这是一篇难得的本科毕业优秀论文。

Chapter 1 Introduction
A reflection on the evolution of language teaching indicates that the vicissitudes of various
language teaching approaches depend to a large extent on the social context then. Growing out of
the soil municative language teaching, task-based approach since its debut in 1980s has
aroused a wave of interest in discussions and studies into it. On the other hand, stern challenges
posed by the irresistible trend of globalization have been calling for a reform in the field of foreign
language teaching as well as a more effective and practical approach to light up the future
direction. Under this circumstance, task-based approach is the appropriate method that serves the
very purpose. It is characterized municative tasks and based on how individuals learn a
language rather than on a pre-selection of language items to be taught, claiming that learners
acquire the language in the process of engaging in munication tas
