Abstract

The disadvantages of traditional teaching methods, such as the direct method, the grammar translation method, are becoming more and more obvious. The task-based teaching method, which pays more attention to students’ subjective initiative, independent learning and cooperative inquiry, is becoming more and more popular. It shows the student-centered teaching concept and coincides with the guiding ideology of the new curriculum reform. Under the new curriculum reform, it advocates activity view of English learning for the development of discipline core literacy. Therefore, it is particularly important to integrate the task-based language teaching (TBLT) and activity view of English learning to design high school English teaching.
