A Discussion on the Application of Task-based Teaching Method in High School English Reading Teaching

Abstract

Task-based teaching method is more and more widely used in high school English reading teaching, and teachers should pay attention to its application principles and strategies when using this teaching method. In this paper, for example, Unit 2 Healthy Eating, a compulsory part of the Humanistic Version, is divided into three parts: pre-reading, reading and post-reading, and tasks are set in each part. The tasks in the pre-reading section are to allow students to have a brief review of the content of the previous lesson and to introduce the reading topic of this lesson; the tasks in the reading section are to allow students to understand and analyze the structure and content of the text in depth, and the importance of the activities in the reading section can be appreciated from the number of tasks designed; and the tasks in the post-reading section are to allow students to produce an effective output of the learning in this lesson. Task-based teaching can break down the difficulty of junior high school students' English reading learning, let students experience the fun of collaboration with group cooperation, enliven the classroom atmosphere, and make the classroom sessions closely connected.
