A Study on the Influence of Task-based Language Teaching    on Cultivating Middle School Students’ English Learning Motivation
I. Introduction
Task-based Language Teaching is a language teaching approach which appeared in the 1980s in India and was proposed by a famous scholar Prabuu. It is a product of processing syllabus. Prabhu’s study is a tentative experiment, putting forward a learning-centered teaching mode, namely, language learning should not put emphasis not only on the language form, but also on the learning processes and the meanings of language (Prabhu 74). He pides the learning tasks into three categories: information-gap activity, reasoning-gap activity and also opinion-gap activity. In terms of practical teaching，he puts task-based learning model into three stages：pre-task，task and feedback. At the time, Prabhu’s teaching had a great impact on the field of foreign language teaching. But there are also many defects. Despite this, as a pioneer of task-based learning in foreign language teaching, he made a bold attempt, and also laid a good foundation for later researches of task-based learning and teaching (Fu 4). New English Curriculum Standards (2003) announce clearly that primary and Middle English courses emphasize on the development of students’ integrated language competence and these standards aim at students’ interest, participant, cooperation, life experience, practice, and communication. Besides, the standards suggest that teachers should adopt the method of Task-based Language Teaching to promote students’ cross-culture consciousness and the ability of studying independently. In addition, one of the most important reforms of the basic education curriculum is to change students’ learning approach.
