| As one of the most dominant language teaching approaches in the world today, the Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) is becoming a catchword in English teaching circles in China. The New National Criterion for English Course is advocating task-based approach in EFL teaching of the middle school. It explicitly points out that to carry out the task-based approach is to develop the students' comprehensive ability of language use in the course of English teaching. The task-based language teaching advocates students'experiencing,practicing,participating,communicating and cooperating with the teacher's help. The students obtain a sense of success by achieving a goal. Task-based approach emphasizes that the students perform tasks in English.But at present, for most of the teachers in China, task-based language teaching method is a completely new model although a lot of experts in and out of China have done researches into task-based teaching and learning. In addition, the New Curriculum Criteria just gives a simple introduction of task-based approach, so there exist a lot of difficulties in how to utilize this model, especially the teachers of English are short of conventions on task-based reading in English. Hence, it is quite necessary for us to do the research into the task-based model of teaching and learning in SEFC reading. There is great significance to promote the performance and practice of the English Curriculum Criteria.The purpose of the current paper is to bear testimony to the hypothesis that the task-based teaching method can be used in reading class effectively and it can arouse students' learning interest and improve students'reading competence. Thus, the ability of using English is also improved. The current thesis tries to get the approval by means of carrying out task-based reading experiments in Dalian Lvshun No.2 Senior Middle School, Liaoning Province, with two contrast groups in Grade One in the year 2005.
