This thesis explores the definitions of TBLT, the types of tasks, and the abroad and the domestic research of TBLT and shows its positive impact on students’ English learning. Meanwhile, this thesis analyzes characteristics of junior middle school students, the process of implementation of TBLT and existing problems during the process of implementation.

摘要任务型教学法是20世纪80年代兴起的一种强调“做中学”的语言教学法。国外诸多研究证明任务型教学法在培养学生学习兴趣、提高学生学习能力、促使学生综合素质全面发展等方面起到重要作用。2001年3月，我国九年制初中义务教育英语教学大纲明确倡导实施任务型教学模式，提高学生综合运用语言的能力。本文探究了任务型教学法的定义、任务的分类，以及国内外的研究现状，表明了任务型教学法对学生英语学习的积极影响，同时分析了初中生的特点，以及在初中英语课堂实施过程中出现的主要问题，并提供了具体的教学应用实例和参考意见以期望英语教师能加深对任务型教学法的理解，改善英语课堂教学效果。

1. Introduction
Task-based language teaching (TBLT) is an influential teaching approach which was first started and radically established since 1980s. In fact, it is a further development of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). It is first advocated by N.S.Prabhus, and then a lot of studies and experiments have been done on it by many other researchers and linguists. It becomes popular in China, beginning in 1990s. In May 2001, the ministry of education issued a New English Curriculum Standard, which advocates experiencing，practicing，participating，communicating and cooperating . It is in the New English Curriculum Standard(2001)that TBLT is advocated．It explicitly points out that to carryout the task-based approach is to develop the students’ comprehensive ability of language use in the course of English teaching．Task-based language teaching fully embodies modern education idea that is based on the development of people’ education. The teacher can design different tasks according to different levels of students, which enables students to complete tasks by working with partners, so as to cultivate the consciousness of cooperation, improve their ability to find and solve problems and experience the joy of success in the process of completing tasks, which meets the fundamental requirements of quality-oriented education. 任务型教学法在初中英语课堂的实施:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_67149.html
