Abstract: The New National English Curriculum Standard considers promoting the students’ reading comprehension as one of the most important goals in teaching English. Task-Based Language Teaching advocates that the students should master the language by using it to communicate in the classroom, while still learning grammar and building up their vocabulary. The paper analyzes the effectiveness of the application of Task-Based Language Teaching in reading teaching through classroom observation under the guidance of Task-Based Language Teaching theories. The results show that Task-Based Language Teaching is effective and that students’ reading level can be increased by designing different and proper tasks.
