Application of Task-based Approach in English Writing Teaching in Senior Middle School

摘要

在英语学习中，听、说、读、写是四项基本技能。而写作，作为重要的输出环节，在语言交流与传播中起着不可替代的作用。 然而，目前我国高中英语写作教学的现状不容乐观，我国高中英语教学受班级人数、学时、语言环境和高考压力等限制，加之写作教学方法的不当，大多数英语学习者对英语写作不感兴趣。 

传统的写作教学，不能有效地调动学生的写作积极性和提高写作能力。20世纪80年代出现了一种新的语言教学理论----任务型语言教学理论。在这种教学模式下，教师会根据特定的语言目标，设计出目的明确、可操作的任务，学生通过分析、思考、交流、合作、竞争等来完成任务，掌握语言和技能。

本文共三章。第一章介绍了任务型教学的国内外研究现状和理论知识。第二章是对高中学生的英语写作现状进行的调查。第三章是实验设计。通过实验组和对照组的对比，实验结果证明了任务型教学法在高中英语写作教学中的可行性和有效性。

Abstract

In English learning, listening, speaking, reading, and writing are the four basic skills. Writing, as an important language output, plays an irreplaceable role in language communication and transmission. However, the current situation of senior middle school’s English writing teaching is still far from satisfactory. Our English writing teaching is restricted by class size, class hour, language environment, pressure from college entrance examination, and also the unsuitable teaching methods, leading to students’ disinterest in English writing. 

The traditional teaching method cannot arouse students’ interest and improve their writing abilities effectively. 1980s saw the emergence of a new language teaching theory¬¬-—Task-based Approach to language learning. In this teaching mode, according to the language target, teachers will design many goal-oriented and operational tasks, in which students would master language and skills by analysis, thinking, communication, cooperation and competition. 

This thesis consists of three chapters. In the first chapter, the author mainly introduces the previous researches on TBA (Task-based Approach) at home and abroad and its theoretical basis. Chapter 2 is concerned about an investigation on the present situation of senior students’ English writing. In chapter 3, it is about an experimental study. After comparing the EC (the Experimental Class) and the CC (the Controlled Class), the result shows the feasibility and efficiency of TBA in English Writing Teaching.
