摘要:初中英语阅读教学是英语教学中一个非常重要的组成部分，培养和提高学生的阅读理解能力是阅读课的主要目的。《英语课程标准》正在全国普遍推行。任务型教学提倡‘做中学’来激励学生,挖掘学生学习潜力，使学生在学习语法和词汇的同时通过使用语言来掌握目标语。简单地说就是“为学而用，在用中学，学以致用”。
本文首先综述了任务型教学的理论依据、指导原则、任务选择以及各种“任务”的界定，阐述作者对任务概念的观点，阐述阅读理论知识。接着，本文分析了实验的结果，了解任务型教学在阅读教学中使用的有效性。本文旨在探讨中学小班阅读教学实施任务教学法的可行性，有效性及学生对任务教学法的反馈。
实验结果证明任务型教学法是适用于初中英语阅读教学的。它不仅能提高初中学生阅读的兴趣，在一定程度上也能提高他们的阅读理解的能力。
