Abstract

This paper attempts to present the theoretical basis, definitions, and design structure of task-based language teaching by sorting out articles related to task-based language teaching and learning. Combining the author's own understanding and thinking, this paper analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of TBLT by taking parts of the task design of Unit 5 Why do you like pandas? in the second book of Grade 7 as an example. Finally, this paper draws a conclusion: We are in the post-method era. There is no one-size-fits-all method that can be adapted to every situation. So English teachers should be ready to use the most effective aspects of the various methods according to their own style, experience and ability to adapt to the various variables in teaching.
