ABSTRACT

This article is based on task-based language teaching (TBLT) theory and attempts to explore how to better transfer knowledge and effectively arouse college students’ interest in language learning and strengthen their confidence in college English classroom context. Task-based language teaching must be considered and applied in syllabus designing, selection, sequencing of pedagogic tasks, and provision of real-language environment during the learning process. Through the analysis of applying the task-based approaches, it can be found that students’ comprehensive ability of English is greatly improved.
