摘要

本文針對融入任務式教學於大學英文閱讀課程作一初步探討。在此研究中，共設計了七種任務式教學活動，使傳統的英文閱讀課程教室成為溝通式教室。調查結果顯示學生對於實施任務式教學的英文閱讀課程呈現非常正面的回饋。他們認為任務式教學的英文閱讀課程比傳統的英文閱讀課程更有趣；除此之外，他們的閱讀技巧訓練得更有效因為他們在從事任務式活動中實際運用到閱讀技巧。再者，他們記憶單字的意願增強而且單字的長期記憶力保持得更久因為他們實際參與的活動使他們印象深刻。

This paper addresses a preliminary study on incorporating task-based instruction (TBI) into a collegiate English reading course. Seven designed tasks are implemented to make a conventional English reading classroom into a communicative classroom. The investigation demonstrates that students show positive feedback toward this TBI English reading course. They report that TBI English reading course is more interesting than conventional reading course. Besides, their reading skills are trained more effectively than before because of the tasks they are engaged in. Moreover, their willingness to memorize vocabulary is stronger and their long-term memory of vocabulary retains longer because of the activities they participate in.
