in Novice-mid Chinese Classes
Abstract
Keywords：Task-based language teaching, traditional teaching method, novice-mid Chinese class
The purpose of this study was to examine and analyse the effects of task-based language teaching on novice-mid learning motivation, and achievement and to examine the structure and function of language in teaching. The subjects were two classes of novice-mid in the MTC language center. One class, the“experimental class”, adopted task-based language teaching; the other, the“control class”, adopted traditional teaching methods. Both classes were taught by the researcher. The two groups were given lectures of 100 minutes a day five days per week, and the experiment lasted for ten weeks.
Quasi-experimental design was used in this study, which included two review tests and one questionnaire. The second part consisted of interviews of teachers and students.
The result of this study reveals that task-based language teaching is able to increase students’ learning motivation and achievement. In addition, it helps students to be more absorbed in class and improve the interaction between classmates.
Discussions are presented in the study based on the experiments. Suggestions are given for Chinese teachers and for future research.
