It explores grading criteria according to task types as well as task difficulty factors. Finally, further research on task difficulty and grading tasks is discussed.%任务型语言教学(TBLT)是以任务为单位组织教学的一种语言教学方法,如何确定任务难度进而对任务分级是教学的中心环节。该文对Skehan和Ellis任务难度体系进行了回顾,从根据任务类型和影响任务难度因素两方面分析讨论任务分级标准,最后对任务难度分级的进一步研究进行了展望。
