对高中英语写作教学的研究

论文摘要

写作是英语学习中四个重要技能之一。它不仅能够帮助学生巩固所学知识,而且还可以促进他们与人进行书面交流。然而多年来,英语写作一直是困扰高中生和老师的一个问题。学生们或者感到无话可写,或者犯了各种各样的错误。这些都妨碍他们取得好成绩,提高写作能力,以至于最终对英语学习失去兴趣。许多英语老师也很担忧这一点。为了解决这些问题,国内外许多研究人员已经做了大量的实验试图来找到合理的写作教法。现在有很多关于写作的教法,例如：结果写作法、过程写作法、体裁写作法、交际法和写长法。这些方法都证明了它们在某些方面,针对某些学生是实用的。然而这些写作方法在得到国内外学者的许多肯定的同时,也得到了大量的否定。那么在中国的高中英语课堂上,写作课实际是什么样的呢?老师们是如何进行写作教学的?他们会用到上面提到的方法吗?如果使用,那么老师们又用到何种程度呢?一堂合理的高中英语写作课应该是什么样的?通过访谈和案例分析,结果发现这些写作方法并不完全适用于高中生。堂合理的写作课应该包括足够的语言输入和大量的输出。通过设计一些情境和活动,写作课能够变得更加生动有效。对于点评学生的作文,评语最好要更加详尽和鼓励。另外,在讲英语课本中的每个模块的其它课型的时候,教师最好将各种课型的课连贯起来,每节课都提前为写作课作准备。通过分析学生在课上的反应,问卷调查以及学生的作文,可以看到这样的写作教法是合理适用的。
