Research on the Application of Task-based Language Teaching in University Oral English Teaching

Abstract

As a student-centered teaching approach that emphasizes practical application of language and communicative competence, task-based language teaching (TBLT) has become an important research direction in the field of foreign language education since its emergence. In university oral English teaching, the introduction of TBLT not only revolutionizes the traditional teaching mode, but also opens up a new path for students to improve their oral ability. By designing a series of specific, clear and close-to-life tasks, the TBLT approach enables students to use language naturally in the process of completing the tasks, thus realizing the organic combination of language knowledge and practical application. This teaching mode not only promotes students’ oral expression ability, but also enhances their language perception and cross-cultural communication ability. At the same time, it encourages cooperation and interaction among students, cultivating their teamwork spirit and independent learning ability. This research uses literature analysis approach to systematically review the wide application and far-reaching impact of the TBLT approach in the field of university oral English teaching, points out the challenges and puts forward a number of suggestions and strategies in response to these problems. The application of the TBLT approach in university oral English teaching has achieved remarkable results, but it still needs to be continuously explored and improved. It is hoped that this research can shed light on improving the quality of university oral English teaching and promoting teaching reform and innovation.
