本文针对高职学生英语学习积极性不高、信心不强的特点,尝试把任务型教学法应用在高职英语精读课上。通过实践研究,任务型教学法更能激发学生的学习兴趣,培养学生的认知策略和元认知策略,促进学生尽量利用学习资源,从而促进学生自主学习能力的培养。 This article attempts to apply the task-based pedagogy to intensive English classes in higher vocational colleges in view of the low enthusiasm of English learning and the lack of confidence in higher vocational students. Through practical research, task-based pedagogy can stimulate students’ interest in learning, develop students’ cognitive strategies and metacognitive strategies, and promote students to make full use of learning resources to promote the cultivation of students’ autonomous learning ability.
