ABSTRACT

 

In the process of learning English, we must master four basic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, but among them , writing is a basic method to measure the competence of language producing and learning. It is the embodiment of student’s comprehensive ability and one of the standards to measure the teaching effect. While argumentative writing is the genre that be widely used by students and often appears in various English exams. At the same time, compared with other three writing genres, argumentative writing has higher requirements on accuracy of language and logicality of content, so that the teaching of argumentative writing receives more concern from English teaching practitioners.

The traditional writing approach is mainly focused on teachers, the purpose of teaching is to consolidate the language of students, but the teaching method emphasizes one link of language learning one-sided, which leads to the students’ ambiguity of aims and a lack of writing motivation and awareness. In 1980s, a new language teaching method called task-based teaching method that emphasizes “learning by doing” has emerged. Through the analysis of research situations at home and abroad, the thesis studies the task design of English major students’ argumentative writing in terms of task-based teaching theory. By selecting and analyzing twenty pieces of argumentative writing task designs in TEM-4, TEM-8, TOEFL, and IELTS, the thesis is aimed at getting information about rules that should be followed when it 

comes to designing scientific and reasonable tasks and providing constructive reference for the teaching practice of argumentative writing. 

 

Key words: Task-based Language Teaching; Argumentative Writing of English Majors; Task Design
