Abstract

Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) offers great pedagogical value in oral English teaching. However, various challenges have been encountered in China, a common phenomenon of silence in speaking classes is still serious. Thus, implementing TBLT may not effectively foster language processing and conversational interaction in China. However, with the application and development of network technology, many scholars have conducted research on this, proving that combining Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) with technology can significantly help learners' oral input and output, and provide rich ways to enhance learners' speaking performance. Therefore, this study aims to synthesis TBLT approach and technology to explore technology-mediated task-based language teaching (TMTBLT) application to strengthen oral English teaching in China.
