Type: article
Abstract: Task-based language teaching (TBLT) has attracted increasing attention from Chinese experts and scholars during the quest for the reform of teaching Chinese as a foreign language (TCFL). Task-based language teaching has absorbed the essence of communicative teaching method, centering on tasks, emphasizing learning process, and advocating the usage of target language during the process of accomplishing meaningful tasks. It is a lively and interactive teaching method aiming to improve learners' communicative competence. At present, compared with that of teaching English as a foreign language in China, the theoretical research and teaching practice on TCFL, especially grammar teaching, are still in their initial stage. Beginning with the general introduction of the position and status quo of TCFL grammar teaching, this paper integrates the relevant research on TBLT both at home and abroad and combines the relevant theoretical and practical TCFL teaching experience of experts, scholars and teachers, aiming to analyze the reflections of TBLT on grammar teaching of TCFL, through reference to literature and observations of TCFL classes at Jiangnan University. The author hopes to appeal more attention to the application of TBLT on TCFL grammar teaching and deeper and wider research will be carried out in this field, promoting the smooth and flourishing development of TCFL.
