Analysis of the Advantages and Challenges Concerning the Implementation of TBLT into EFL Context of China

Task-based language teaching, as one of the four main English teaching methods in China, has its unique advantages. In a task-based teaching, students actually learn language by doing interesting things relevant to their daily life and can hence get them involved physically and emotionally. Which, to some degree, fits the teaching idea of our country that we should enable students to develop their practical ability to use language through task-centered teaching approach especially after the appearance of NECS in 2017. However, there still exists some challenges or problems facing task-based approach and its implementation in a Chinese context where English is treated as a foreign language to learn (EFL). Thus, this paper aims to present these problems at the macro and micro perspectives. Besides, this paper also hopes to offer some pertinent suggestions on how we should respond to task-based method dialectically based on the enlightenment of relevant literature.
