12、就是以具体的任务为学习动力或动机，以完成任务的过程为学习的过程，以展示任务成果的方式（而不是以测试的分数）来体现教学的成就。,陈 琳 王 蔷 程晓堂（2002：104-105）,所谓任务型语言教学，其核心思想就是要模拟人们在社会、学校生活中人们运用语言所从事的各类活动，把语言教学与学习者在今后的日常生活中的语言应用结合起来。,转引自张琳琳（2004）,Four dimensions of teaching and learning tasks represented by the“four eyes”:Involvement(参与),Inquiry(探究),Induction(归纳),Inco

23、与西方国家许多英语学习者将英语作为第二语言来学的特定环境和条件有许多不同，加上任务型教学本身的问题和局限，我们对任务型教学的借鉴应该抓住其本质与合理内核，促进其与我国传统外语教学方式相互取长补短，而不是形式上的盲目模仿。,魏永红（2004：163）,Homework,What are the limitations of CLT and TBLT under the Chinese foreign language teaching setting?,Reference books,魏永红.任务型外语教学研究认知心理学视角.上海:华东师范大学出版社,2004.Skehan,P.1996.Sec
