A Research On Task-Interaction-Assessment Integrated Classroom Teaching Model For The Middle School

Language teaching methods and models have always been the focus of language teaching researching. Admittedly, there are many teaching methods and models at home and abroad. For years, all of these methods have also been adopted in our classroom teaching in this way or that. However, the New Curriculum Reform attaches greater importance to the teaching methods and models, for the three dimensions---knowledge and competence, method and strategy, affection and attitude, experiential learning, autonomous learning, probing learning, cooperative learning, and task-based learning are all required. Though In the New Curriculum, task-based learning and cooperative learning are recommended, teachers gradually began to find them difficult to be adopted and used together efficiently in the classroom teaching. When teachers carried out their teaching, they only focused on one or two dimensions of the new curriculum requirements, ignoring the other one or two. Teachers' lecture-teaching still dominated the classroom. The process of learning by doing and the strategies of cultivating language skills were overlooked, and students'attitude was not developed positively. Thus, to seek one teaching model to make the Reform achieve the goal and develop students both mentally and psychologically was taken into consideration by the researcher.Through the study of language teaching and learning theories, effective teaching theories, the researcher put forward the hypothesis of the Task-Interaction-Assessment Integrated Classroom Teaching Model for the Middle School. This teaching model is to systematically use "task" as "what to learn", "interaction" as "how to learn" and "assessment" as "whether to learn well" so that "task", "interaction", and "assessment" work together to make the classroom teaching and learning effective and affectionate.The approaches used in this research were experimental research followed by questionnaires an interviews as supplement. The research results positively confirmed the model. As for motivation, the Task-Interaction-Assessment Integrated Classroom Teaching method for the Middle School were able to set up positive learning environment, inspired learning attempts, developed students' extrinsic and intrinsic motivations and made students learn confidently to make progress in learning.The Task- Interaction- Assessment Integrated Teaching method could provide students good learning strategies. Students could well get reading, listening and writing skills from the lesson directly, which are cognitive learning strategies. The model could improve the meta-cognitive strategies which made students well plan their lessons. Besides, the model well developed the sense of cooperation. The Task-Interaction-Assessment Integrated Teaching method is also an effective learning. Students can well understand what they have learned and learn English efficiently. Students believe that the model can well develop their critical thinking and use English effectively.
