Abstract
The paper primarily adopt a task-based language teaching which supports ‘learning by doing’ in second language learning. The project designs a four-step learning procedure in a speaking project to Chinese local civil servants which support by government. The opening step invites learners to activate what they already know about the topic. The second step provides input with an explicit demonstration of a task model in each topic. In the third step, students gain valuable discussion skill as they talk about and act the topics through role-play, simulation, and discussion.The last step is the assessment.This course is designed to provide Chinese public officials an opportunity to practise English in the daily communication of their office duties, to gain a knowledge of common cultural routines and beliefs, and to explore conversational topics in various contexts.
