Application of Task-based Learning in Chinese Context

Abstract

Task-based language learning (TBL) and teaching plays significant role in developing Chinese English learners' linguistic competence. In Chinese English-teaching context, the discussion concerning how to change learners' role from passively receiving to autonomously participate through the long -term TBL application lingered on and on. This paper attempts to discuss TBL in foreign language teaching, and the problematic issues related to TBL implementation, furthermore, it takes whether TBL is superior to the traditional teaching approach, and conductive to involve learners into the communicative classroom actively into serious consideration.
