This thesis reports an experimental study of Task-based L2 oral English teaching for English majors in a Chinese university.In the second language acquisition(SLA)field,teachers and researchers are devoted to finding a method,which functions as a bridge to join the usage and use of the language,the forms and meaning,and the process and product.Task-based teaching approach(TBTA)seems to satisfy such demands.Therefore,it has attracted wide attention in the field of SLA,become one of the hot spots of current theoretical study,and provided some theoretical guidance for the practice of foreign language teaching(FLT)and second language teaching(SLT).The researcher believes it is necessary to write a review concerning the origin,the development and the future of task-based teaching approach.
