摘要：引導學生由單一、單純模仿，被動接受的學習轉變為運用觀察、發現、推測、理解、記憶、對比、分析、聯想、歸納、內化等策略進行學習，可以啟發學生動腦思考，大膽想象，提高學生的英語實踐能力。

關鍵詞：英語 課堂教學 任務型

高中英語必修教科書中，創設了大量的語言運用活動，使學生能夠通過親身的參與和實踐，感悟和體驗英語，進一步培養學生的語言技能，提升綜合語言運用能力。與此同時，這些任務型的教學活動，也幫助教師由灌輸式教學轉變為啟發式教學，為學生的發現和探究提供了空間。

大多數任務型活動涉及社會科學和自然科學，如信息技術、航天技術、環保、法制、文學、醫學、音樂、體育、美術以及工、農、商等任務型教學內容。倡導任務型教學的目的就是讓學生主動參與，自主學習，啟發他們動腦思考，大膽想象，旨在激發思維，開啟心智，發揮創新精神，提高實踐能力.

下面我就以高中英語必修五Unit 3 Life in the future為例，談談任務型活動的設計，以饗讀者及同行。本單元的中心話題是談未來，內容涉及人類對今后生活環境的想象、猜測和思考。所以，任務型活動可以圍繞“未來生活”這一中心話題進行設計，啟發學生開展探究式學習。
