ABSTRACT

Task-based language teaching method is effective in improving students' language ability, learning quality and achieving effective learning, which is widely used in China's classrooms. TBLT research in China can be divided into two stages: the stage of application and exploration of theory (2011-2014) and the stage of improvement and questioning of theory (2015-2020). Although the research on TBLT has been prosperous in recent years, some aspects are still not in-depth. In the future, scholars still need to further develop the theory and the practice of TBLT to improve its local adaptability in China.
