ABSTRACT

Task-based language teaching (TBLT) emphasizes the relevance of classroom tasks to real-life scenarios, while focusing on the learner’s personal life experiences as an important resource for classroom learning. This article is a teaching experiment based on task-based teaching method, which requires learners to complete a picture story about their daily life. The pictures are taken in real life scenes. Teachers plan to combine different task phases with visual images to closely link the tasks to the learner’s personal life and enhance the authenticity of the task. After the task is completed, the teacher understands the learner’s attitude and evaluation of the whole task through questionnaires, and analyzes the feasibility of the visual image applied to the foreign language classroom, the problems worthy of reflection, and suggestions for improvement.
