IOn Application of Task-based Approach to Reading Teaching in English Classes ABSTRACT21st century, the growing trend in English teaching should be for teachers to adopt Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT). However, the fact is that a lot of teachers do not use task-based approach in practical English reading lessons. Reading plays an important role in English learning. In English classes, principles and models for teaching reading should be paid attention to. This paper outlines the principles that underlie Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) and to give examples of classroom activities within the approach. The author carried out a research that shows how TBLT methodology is applied in reading teaching in English classes in Nanao Middle School. And the author found that task-based curriculum design is more complex than traditional teaching methods (PPP). These factors lead many teachers do not want to apply task-based approach to give lectures, but a series of questionnaires and reading tests showed that task-based approach can enhance students interest in learning and reading skills, better reflect the requirements of new curriculum standard.Key Words: Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT), Traditional Reading Teaching, ApplicationII任务型教学在英语课堂阅读教学中的应用 摘 要 摘要: 21世纪，在英语课堂教学中，教师的教学趋势应是采用任务型语言教学（TBLT） 。然而，事实是，很多教师没有将任务型语言教学（TBLT）开展落实于英语课堂。阅读在英语学习中扮演着举重若轻的角色。在英语课堂中，阅读教学的原则和模式应予以重视。本文以概述的原则介绍任务型语言教学法（TBLT） ，并展示该方法在英语阅读课堂的实践事例任务型教学在英语课堂阅读教学中的应用作为一个实验性研究应用于南澳中学。笔者发现任务型教学的课程设计较传统3P教学法更复杂，这导致许多教师不愿意应用任务型教学法进行讲学，但一系列的调查问卷和阅读测试显示，任务型教学更能提高学生的学习兴趣和阅读能力，更能体现新课标的教学要求。关键词： 任务型阅读教学 传统阅读教学 应用IIICONTENTSAbstract.I摘 要 .IIChapter 1 Introduction1.1 Necessity of the Research.11.2 Feasibility of the Research.1Chapter 2 Literature Review2.1 Definition.12.1.1 What is Task-Based Language Teaching（TBLT） .12.1.2 What is A Task .32.1.3 The Classification and Design Principle of the Task.42.1.4 The Steps of Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) .42.1.5 Comparison between the Traditional Model of English Language Teaching and Tasked-based Language Teaching (TBLT) .52.2 What is Reading.62.3 Some Principles for English Reading Classes.7Chapter 3 The Design of the Research3.1 The Purpose of the Research.73.2 The Hypothesis of the Research .8IV3.3 The Process of the Research .83.3.1 The Design of the Research .83.3.2 The Objects of the Research.83.3.3 Pretesting.83.3.4 The First Posttesting .113.3.5 The Second Posttesting .133.5.4 Analysis of the Questionaire.16Chapter 4 Discussion4.1 The Advantage of Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) .174.2 The Disadvantage of Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) .174.3 Factors Considered in Designing Tasks .174.4 The Limitations of the Research and Suggestions to the Future .184.4.1 The Limitations of the Research .184.4.2 Suggestions to the Future.19Chapter 5 ConclusionConclusion.19References .21Appendix .22Appendix I Test of Reading in English Class for Middle School.22Appendix II) Test of Reading in English Class for Middle School .23VAppendix III) Test of Reading in English Class for Middle School .24Appendix IV) Questionnaire .25Acknowledgements .261Chapter 1 Introduction1.1 Necessity of the ResearchThe
