ABSTRACT

This paper studies the strategies of English communicative activities for hearing-impaired secondary school students from the perspective of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), focusing on the status quo of the English teaching, research for the students with hearing impairment, and the purposes of using these classroom English communicative activities as effectively evidenced by English teaching practice worldwide. These communicative teaching activity strategies, in the opinion of the author, will effectively improve not only the English communicative skills but also the cross-culture communication competence of the students with hearing disability.
