Task-based language teaching (TBLT) has attracted the attention of experts and English teachers in China. It focuses on the concept of learner-centered and learning-centered. And TBLT emphasizes the importance of organizing a course around communicative tasks that learners need to do outside the classroom. This thesis, from the perspective of teaching, provides a brief analysis of present reading teaching method only to find the traditional teaching method, only to find the traditional teaching method pay too much attention to language forms, separate the meaning from the discourse and neglect the cultivation of students' reading strategies and skills, while integrated with the latest reading theories, many new reading teaching methods based on CLT (e.g. the schema reading model), are concerned with meaning but neglect the accumulation of accurate language form. As a result, both of them result in low efficiency with great effort in our English reading teaching.Based on the above analysis, the writer tries to apply the TBLT to the English reading teaching in the senior middle school, which is called task-based reading teaching (TBRT) . And in accordance with TBRT, three class teaching patterns come into being and are put forth......In the thesis, the writer explores the practical meaning of the multi-patterns applied in the reading teaching based on TBRT by action research, in the hope of making a meaningful try to improve the present reading teaching of senior middle school.The thesis is divided into 3 parts.Chapter 1 provides a brief overview of the task-based language teaching(TBLT)from the angle of the theory, including the definitions of the task, and the classification of the tasks. And then an English reading teaching approach based on TBLT (TBRT) is proposed in this chapter. At the end of the chapter, the theoretical rationale for TBLT is explored, which also offers the underlying theoretical rationale for TBRT.
