How to apply "task-based teaching method" in primary school English classroom teaching?

Task-based teaching is an example of teacher-student interaction structured around specific teaching and language tasks. Task-based teaching method is a foreign language teaching method widely recognized and accepted by applied linguists and foreign language teaching practitioners. It is also a foreign language teaching method recommended and advocated by the middle school English curriculum standards formulated by the Ministry of Education. In the process of performing tasks, the learning method of participation, experience, interaction, communication, and cooperation fully utilizes the learners' own cognitive abilities, embodies relatively advanced teaching concepts, and is an effective foreign language teaching method worthy of promotion. .

Task-based Language Teaching refers to teaching in which teachers guide language learners to complete tasks in the classroom. This is a language teaching method that emerged in the 1980s that emphasizes "learning by doing" and is a development of communicative teaching method.

Task-based teaching method is learning-centered teaching methods. This type of teaching method mainly focuses on the cognitive and psycholinguistic processes of second language teaching, and strives to provide learners with opportunities to participate in open-ended communicative tasks through meaning-focused activities in the classroom.

Adopting task-based teaching in primary school English teaching is conducive to improving students' innovative spirit and language application ability. Driven by real tasks, students can effectively change their passive learning style and experience many gains and successes in the process of completing tasks! Teachers also enjoy the happiness and joy of students' progress. In future teaching practice, I will continue to practice the guiding ideology of task-based teaching, learn by teaching, do by learning, and learn and grow happily with students.

A preliminary study and experience on the application of task-based teaching method in primary school English teaching

I have always been interested in learning English, and now, I have transformed from a student Becoming an English teacher, the role change was a bit uncomfortable at the beginning, but I quickly adjusted my direction and position, studied the "English Curriculum Standards" seriously, and tried hard in my actual teaching, and suddenly discovered I have gained another perspective on looking at English, that is, I have changed from simply learning English from the teacher to teaching it myself, teaching while learning, and doing it while teaching. I have found that English is more attractive this way, and I have also experienced the joy of being a human being for the first time. I also have my own experience of the joy of being a teacher.

When I first started working, the school organized business studies, one of which was studying the "English Curriculum Standards". It was also during this study that I came into contact with this new term: task-based teaching. It attracted me deeply. In further study, I learned that the "English Curriculum Standards" clearly proposed the "task-based" teaching idea and advocated the implementation of the cultivation of students' comprehensive language ability in the teaching process. What is "task-based" language learning? "Task-based" language learning is an influential learning theory proposed by foreign language teaching method researchers and second language acquisition researchers in the 1980s based on a large amount of research and practice. It has three distinctive features: ① Focuses on the content and meaning of language more than the formal structure of language, so classroom language activities are closer to natural acquisition. ② The execution of tasks or the results of tasks are inseparable from expression skills, that is, speaking and writing skills; ③ The results of task completion provide learners with a standard for self-evaluation and can give them a sense of accomplishment. In teaching, I design "task-based" teaching activities from the perspective of students' "learning", so that students not only acquire language knowledge, but also acquire language application abilities.

So how to implement this teaching idea in the teaching process? While I was thinking, I was looking for answers in teaching practice. Through these two months of theoretical study and practical teaching in first grade and sixth grade, I summarized two points of my own experience.

1. The tasks should be close to students’ lives, real and interesting.

Task-based teaching should be based on students’ life experience and interests, allowing students to achieve task goals and feel successful through perception, experience, practice, participation and cooperation under the guidance of teachers. The design of tasks should be as close as possible to the students' lives and experiences, so as to arouse students' enthusiasm. The stronger the interest, the stronger the thirst for knowledge, the higher the awareness of participation, the more the students' subjectivity can be brought into play, and the more students can take the initiative to learn the tasks. . For example, a series of tasks I designed when teaching first-grade colors: red, green, yellow, purple, orange, blue, white, black, aroused students' interest very well, allowing students to experience the language in a pleasant way, and Use language naturally in life. First, I presented these words on colored paper and asked students to consolidate these words by comparing them with the corresponding colored pieces of paper (students have initially been exposed to these words that represent colors in kindergarten). After reading, I assigned the following tasks: A) Take a guess.

I first drew a banana on the blackboard with chalk, and then asked the students to guess what color it was. Before class, I only thought that the students would definitely say it was yellow, but it was beyond my imagination in class. As expected, one student said that bananas can be green. I thought, yes, bananas can also be green. I praised that student and praised him for his careful observation. I asked him how to use green in English. How to say it? He said green with pride. Now the students were very motivated. They asked me to quickly draw another object to guess the color. I thought at the time why not let them draw it themselves and tell the color themselves? So I assigned the next task: B) Draw a picture. I read red aloud, and the students read along, and then drew the red things in their minds. After the drawings were completed, we displayed them together. The students immediately took action. I saw that most of the students painted red apples, and some careful students painted green apple leaves on the apples. When I walked to Ma Zhiqiang, he said excitedly: " Miss Dong, apple, it's red. And leaves, it's green." I felt a burst of joy in my heart at that time, and deeply felt the teacher's unique fun. This is the vitality brought by the task-based teaching idea! I also found that some students drew a red sun, and there was a little girl who suddenly pointed to the top of the blackboard and said: "Miss Dong, look, the national flag, it's red." Then she got "out of control", a pair of pairs The little hands were raised high, and some said that the stars on the national flag are yellow, the leaves outside the classroom are green, my clothes are purple, and the grapes are purple, the color of the sky is blue, the color of the clouds is white...Listen I also became very excited about the children's words and shared with them the various colors I discovered. When I said that the teacher's teeth were white, they all became very admired by me and said that the teacher also observed very carefully. , soon some students said that my mother’s hair is red, and then some students said that my mother’s hair is yellow. What surprised me most was a student who was usually introverted and said: “Miss Dong, the same The table said that when I blush, it is pink, right?" I smiled and patted her shoulder and nodded, and she smiled knowingly. In this way, the students learned the nine colors happily, and they also learned Exercise students' observation ability. When get out of class was about to end, I assigned another task. After the students went home, they looked for the colors of the items in their homes, and then introduced them to their families. The students happily accepted the task. Therefore, designing more interesting tasks is also the key to motivating students to learn and use language. Being at the exciting point with students is also a kind of care and motivation for students.

In teaching activities, teachers should design specific and operable tasks around specific communication and language projects. Students can express, communicate, negotiate, explain, and inquire and other forms of language activities to complete tasks in order to achieve the purpose of learning and mastering the language. For example, teachers can ask students to simulate situational dialogues in books, change some vocabulary, reorganize a dialogue, and perform it. This is the use of task-based teaching method.

1. Topic Selection Background In order to meet the needs of my country's economic construction and development, and based on the actual situation of my country's education, the Ministry of Education issued the "National English Curriculum Standards (Experimental Draft)" in February 2001, which clearly stipulates: From 2001 to 2003, primary school English courses were gradually opened in primary schools across my country and corresponding new curriculum standards were formulated. The new curriculum standards emphasized that English courses should develop students' comprehensive language application abilities and required students to gradually master English through English learning and practical activities. English knowledge and skills, and improve the practical language application ability. Teachers should avoid teaching methods that simply impart language knowledge and try to use task-based teaching methods to allow students to complete tasks through perceptual experience, practical participation and cooperation under the guidance of teachers. goals and feel successful. Task-based Language Teaching refers to teaching in which teachers guide language learners to complete tasks in class. This is a language teaching method that emerged in the 1980s that emphasizes "learning by doing". It is the development of communicative teaching method and has attracted widespread attention in the world's language education circles. The task-based teaching method has a history of more than 20 years abroad, and the domestic related research and experiment time is not very long. How to localize the foreign task-based teaching theory and practice to form a Chinese-style teaching method that is suitable for China’s national conditions and English teaching environment? The distinctive task-based teaching model is an urgent priority for the reform of primary school English courses in my country. In 2007, our province fully implemented the new curriculum standards. After a lapse of seven years, the implementation status of the task-based teaching method advocated by the new curriculum standards has become a major issue of concern and concern in teacher education research.

This study takes Leifeng Primary School in the High-tech Zone and Lugu Central Primary School in Yuelu District as examples.

Teachers must continue to research in teaching, design teaching tasks suitable for specific students and specific teaching content, create an environment conducive to completing tasks for students, and Continuous summarization and exploration in teaching practice make the task-based teaching model in primary school English teaching

Primary school English is the initial stage of students learning English. The primary school students who have just come into contact with this new course are full of freshness and curiosity. "English Curriculum Standards How to carry out task-based teaching in high school English classroom teaching"

"Interest is the mother of learning". Without interest, it is impossible to learn Chinese well. Because they are interested, students will have positive emotions; in order to satisfy their curiosity, students have to look, listen, think, and ask, and their thinking is activated. Teachers carefully design teaching to stimulate students' interest in learning, and to protect and stimulate students' interests through successful experiences. Teachers must be good at using various means to find the right entry point for teaching and stimulate students' desire for knowledge.
