Abstract

This paper explores the task-based language teaching approach as a significant method in high school English writing instruction. It begins with a brief introduction to the theoretical background and characteristics of TBLT. Based on this, this paper considers the current situation of English writing teaching in high schools and proposes the teaching design of some units. Therefore, this paper provides some suggestions for English writing teaching in the future. The limitations of the TBLT approach are also discussed, such as the potential challenges in task design and the necessity for appropriate teacher support. In actual teaching, teachers need to combine it with other teaching methods.
