从认知角度对高中生英语写作中的错误研究

论文摘要

众所周知,语言技能包括听说读写四方面的能力。在英语学习过程中,写作能力是最重要也是比较难的一部分。基于错误分析的一些理论研究,本文着重调查和分析了高中生英语写作中的错误及其错误原因。首先,依据错误分析等理论,对所搜集的本校高三年级学生的作文进行分析。并将错误进行归类为词汇、语法和篇章三大方面。进而从认知角度探究错误产生的原因以促进英语教学。本文并提出了一些建议,以期有利于提高英语教师的教学及高中生的英语学习。学生在英语写作过程中难免犯各种各样的错误。然而,通过对学生习作错误的调查与分析,不难发现,犯错误这一事实及错误的可观察性,可分析性及可归类性导致对学生错误产生了研究即错误分析。错误分析对语言教学具有重要的实践意义。英语写作错误研究揭示了语言学习者的共同问题,这一研究将会对语言教师及学习者有巨大的帮助。为了减少学生写作错误并提高学生英语写作水平,本文从分析学生作文中的错误出发,并帮助学生提高对语言的认识能力。在文章的最后,作者希望本文对语言教师在处理学生的写作错误时有所帮助。
