Task-based teaching in Australia Analysis of the feasibility of cooperative projects

Summary of cooperative Education programs in Australia as the introduction of a domestic Australian Vocational Education and job skills training qualifications combining vocational and technical Education (TAFE) training system, shoulder training in line with international standards with high levels of foreign language and professional skills complex task of professional skills of personnel. task-based teaching to stimulate students learning English as an interest in learning strategies to help students develop effective teaching methods, the importance of cooperation projects in Australia and is particularly prominent in the student support through task-based teaching into good study habits, improve language proficiency.

Keywords-Australian cooperation in the task-based teaching feasibility

At present, many of the teaching model, task-based teaching is being applied linguists and foreign language teaching practitioners recognized a foreign language teaching, it is the 1980s after a large number of foreign language teaching researchers on the basis of research and practice has made a significant impact on language teaching model, which use the language of the basic ideas into a practical significance of classroom teaching, focusing on students learning English to help students build self-confidence, develop good study habits, and for students to lay a good foundation for growth.

TAFE training of the teaching task-based teaching method is applied to the teaching of English, so that one student in a similar real-life work experience in the context of the task and improve the comprehensive ability to use English, so task-based teaching in the Sino-Australian cooperation project is feasible, mainly in the following areas:
First, the Sino-Australian cooperation project is to implement task-based curriculum features the teaching of the theory. In line with international standards for the training of high level foreign language and professional skills of the compound talents, since 2003, led by the China Electricity Council, author's school start with the Australian Institute of Simeng (Chisholm Institute collaboration to build a solid platform to continue learning, the introduction of Australian school Education and job skills training, the integration of the TAFE Education and training system, the power of higher Vocational Education and training model of Education personnel integrated pilot reform of teaching as one of the basic courses in English to realize the "skills-oriented, good enough for the degree of" feature, according to Australia's overall goal of common development, English teaching is based on foreign graduates to immediately assume or international corresponding agencies in China as the core of the work, and in order to identify the teaching objectives and teaching content.

Second, Sino-Australian cooperation project is characterized by the implementation of the teaching task-based teaching practices based on first is the teaching, emphasis on students in the classroom initiative, even at the primary level stage, but also to encourage students to practice using the language from Australia materials, respectively, from listening, speaking, reading and writing in areas such as start, Deep step by step, not only to enable students to use language in real situations, but also apply their knowledge to continuously improve their English communication skills, confidence, of which the most Each unit is outstanding communicative tasks designed plates (Task. which allows the learner to use comprehensive knowledge has been learned to communicate in English to solve practical problems, focusing on the exchange of "results" rather than "language practice" itself. This also provides a good task-based teaching practice-based, followed by teaching objectives, mainly in the cognitive goals, ability goals and emotional goals. cognitive goal is a gradual four-stage teaching materials to improve the integrated use of language ability, the ability to target to improve students' listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, focusing on the ability to develop and practice their oral communication ability, emotional goal is to encourage students to interact in the classroom, providing them with a positive self-presentation, self-motivation platform in an interactive, experiential teaching, keep trying, and constantly inspire their curiosity. Finally, teaching, TAFE's teaching plans, teaching content and evaluation criteria in accordance with all Australian standards, written by experts and development. and foreign teachers co-coach, full English teaching, the implementation of an interactive small classes (no more than 25 people per class, human-oriented management, each student will be able to obtain the teacher's careful guidance and help.

Third, the characteristics of Australian students in the class suitable for introduction of the task in the classroom-based teaching. Most students in Australia want to go abroad through this platform or to improve their English level, so from the motivation to learn, they are more active, positive, while the task-based teaching fits well with this feature it clear teaching objectives will help to stimulate enthusiasm for learning, students complete the task in the process, to understand the value of learning, experience success, the desire to continue to stimulate self-improvement, while task-based teaching advocated by the forms of cooperation can develop team communication and collaboration of students, for students to create a positive and harmonious learning environment. the value and importance of each group member in its mission to be fully reflected, to enhance their enthusiasm and confidence in learning English . Therefore, English classes in Australia to implement task-based classroom teaching is also more feasible. Links to free download http://www.hi138.com
At the same time, task-based teaching and learning by students develop good study habits, get a higher ability to use language, mainly in the following three aspects:
First, task-based teaching to students with a lot of opportunities for language practice. The traditional classroom teaching to teachers as the leading and only source of information, and students were regarded as objects of Professor, the important role of language in practice no fully understood. In a sense, is the "student center" task-based teaching applications enable students from passive to active, from negative to positive changes in the classroom has become interesting. more classes in Australia teaching is based on the characteristics of the Australian side, the establishment of the Independent Learning Centre (Independent Learning Center, to provide students with more opportunities for language practice, so that they can, such as network, audio-visual information such as extra-curricular self-study, effective language input.

Second, task-based teaching students to experience and discover their own lack of success, students experience success and feel the learning, help to mobilize them in the process to complete the task and found that their lack of motivation to inspire students desire for self-improvement in task based teaching, teachers can design a mission to enable students to hands-on brain, overcome difficulties, to use language to complete. The actual process of completing the task is to use language to do things in the process, and process of doing things but also students to analyze and problem-solving process that requires students to make the actual situation in different languages ​​reactions, creating unique ways to solve the problem, complete the task. In this teaching activities, students gain knowledge or to draw conclusions and take the initiative to actively explore the cognitive experience, whether they will get the understanding of the content or form of language perception are the result of positive thinking, effective framework to promote the development of students' target language the same time, the whole process stress the importance of the target language to express, and many tasks must be accomplished through speaking and writing, thereby strengthening language skills.

Third, task-based teaching to cultivate good character and spirit of innovation in the mission, you need mutual cooperation between members of the group, which is conducive to cultivate good character, the spirit of innovation, team spirit and collective pride in group activities, task-based teaching significantly increased students' opportunities for language practice, and create a favorable environment for language learning, help students improve learning motivation.

I practice in teaching truly feel that teachers play in the task-based teaching with mentors to promote the role in a variety of different tasks, the students of the brain is always active, so the whole learning process is positive initiative. In addition, with the deepening of task-based teaching, the students gradually improved ability to use language, the language learning process into a process of automation and self-directed, students are able to creatively express their ideas in the task is completed, Teachers should guide students to learn how to share and help each other, their respective advantages and timely communication and integration of information at the same time, task-based teaching methods to improve the teaching level of teachers, updating the concept of teachers, help students gain greater development.

Of course, in the implementation of task-based teaching will be some problems: (a difficult task in the design if the design is too easy a task, the students quickly, will cause them to lose interest in tasks and vice versa, so the difficulty of the task design is critical to grasp (2 tasks difficult to control the systematic and continuous, students courses and more, can not spare enough time and effort to complete the task-based teaching after-school tasks become difficult to implement in (3 task-based teaching full emphasis on cooperation learning, many of the tasks completed by the entire group, so students in the activity diminished ability to think independently, increased dependence on others (4 to complete the task in the majority of students focused on "doing" rather than "learning", not recognize the task-based teaching is the core language to do things.

Needs to be emphasized that no single teaching method can adapt to each person, we need to do is to capture the essence of the task-based teaching and its rational core, rather than blindly imitate the form, as long as we reasonably use task-based teaching and absorb the essence of traditional teaching, English classes will present a new face.
