Abstract

This ethnographic study attempts to find, reveal, and understand the quality of life in a College English classroom for non-English majors in China, where a task-based language learning and teaching practice is conducted under the guide of the principles of Exploratory Practice, aiming at exploring the viability of the practice in this specific instructional context. It takes the perspective of a practitioner’s and researcher’s, and that of an anthropologist’s, to conduct qualitatively the study of the task process. By inspiring students to free themselves from the rationality of instrumental curriculum, and encouraging them to exercise their agency and creativity, through the joint four-stage activities of the task, the study witnesses a harmonious classroom life, in which the students, in the direction of their teacher, engage actively in the activities, creating not only language learning opportunities, but also social and cultural ones, and critical thinking chances. The study confirms the positive effect of this context-sensitive instructional practice which prioritizes quality of life in the task-based language learning and teaching classroom.

探索任务型英语学习与教学实践:一种整合的方法
本民族志研究试图发现、揭示和理解中国非英语专业大学英语课堂的生活质量,在探索性实践原则的指导下进行任务型语言学习与教学实践,旨在探索这种实践在特定教学情境下的可行性。它需要实践者和研究者的视角,以及人类学家的视角,对任务过程进行定性研究。通过任务的四个阶段的联合活动,激发学生从工具性课程的合理性中解放出来,鼓励他们发挥能动性和创造性,使学生在教师的指导下积极参与活动,不仅创造了语言学习的机会,而且创造了社会和文化的机会,创造了批判性思维的机会,创造了和谐的课堂生活。该研究证实了这种情境敏感型教学实践的积极作用,它在任务型语言学习和教学课堂中优先考虑生活质量。
