Abstract

The application of Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) in senior high school English reading teaching is becoming more and more widespread. Teachers should pay attention to its application principles and strategies when using this teaching method. Taking An Encounter with Nature as an example, a text from FLTSRP Book 1, unit 5, this study divided the reading class into three phases: Pre-reading task phase, While-reading task phase and Post-reading task phase with tasks set in each phase. TBLT can decompose the difficulty of senior high school students’ English reading learning, help students experience the fun of collaboration in the way of group cooperation, activate the classroom atmos-phere, and make the classroom connected closely. Through the case study of a reading class, this paper mainly discusses how to effectively apply Task-based teaching method in reading class to improve students’ reading ability and achieve efficient classroom.
