Abstract

Task-based language teaching (TBLT) is a language teaching method proposed at the end of the 12th century. With the new round of college English teaching reform, English teaching methods are drawing renewed attention. However, for some reasons, TBLT is not ideally implemented in college English classrooms. Based on an overview of the theoretical basis of TBLT, this paper analyzes the application principles of TBLT, and puts forward the implementation strategies for implementing TBLT in colleges and universities, so as to shed some light on how to improve college students’ English proficiency in the new era.
