中文摘要：以任务为主的语言教学是近年来语言教学发展的新趋势之一。任务型教学法已逐渐成为我国外语课堂教学的主要模式，它是以学习者完成某些任务的形式来组织教学活动的。它不再像传统的教学法一样以词汇或语法为教学主要内容，而是设计学习者在学习过程中应该完成的种种任务。《高中英语课程标准》提倡英语教学活动中应尽量使用任务型教学。阅读教学是高中英语教学中的一项重要内容,在高中英语阅读教学中应将学生置身于运用语言的活动中,让学生去感知、分析、理解、操练,以期达到真正掌握英语的目的。

　　　本文根据任务型教学法的三个理论依据：互动理论，输入假设和构建主义理论，分析任务型教学法的作用，任务设计原则，并着重分析、研究其在高中英语阅读教学中的具体应用。本文以高中第四单元 Body Language的阅读文章COMMUNICATION: NO PROBLEM ? 为例，主要从阅读前，阅读中及阅读后三个方面来分析、研究阅读教学教学设计。
