Abstract

As no universal principles can be applied to language learning and teaching, it’s of great importance for language teachers to capitalize all the teaching theories for teaching purpose. This paper extends further discussion to the two most-practiced teaching methods, TBLT (Task-based Language Teaching) and CLT (Communicative Language Teaching). Firstly, the paper attempted to define these two task types and discuss the importance of them. Secondly, it pointed out the similarities of the two tasks, Thirdly, The paper analyzed the differences of the two task types, which specially concerns the conceptual meaning, the adoption of syllabus, the process of teaching, the evaluation, the order of tasks, the students’ attention duration and the students’ learning motivation. At last, the significance of the comparison was pointed out in the paper. The comparison between TBLT and CLT not only brought to a new understanding of the two task types, but also informs readers its great significance, thus providing some beneficial inspirations and assistance to the teachers and learners for their future English learning teaching.
