圖書簡介

        David Nunan所著的《任務型語言教學》是1989年英國劍橋大學出版社出版的《交際課堂的任務設計》的全新版，是一部總結了過去20年來任務型語言教學的理論和實踐成果的最新學術專著。該書強調教師發(fā)展和培訓的范式應是“自下而上”而不是“自上而下”的。語言課程和大綱的設計應該融入學習者的知識視域和生活經歷。把學習者和教師的知識視域和經歷帶人課程的有效途徑是任務。任務既是方法、內容，也是課程。這是作者的一個很重要的教師發(fā)展觀和課程觀。
    新版本在原來的基礎上增加了“任務型語言教學中任務和課程的其他要素之間的關系”，“任務型語言教學的實證研究基礎”，“任務型語言教學中的形式教學”，以及“任務型語言教學中的評價”四個章節(jié)，使這本書無論從理論上還是實踐上都更趨完善。作者從一個語言教育實踐者和教育理論研究者的角度，用通俗易懂的語言，由淺入深地細數任務型語言教學的發(fā)展歷程，與讀者探討任務型語言教學實踐中的關鍵問題，以及分析課程和教師發(fā)展之間的關系等。
