高中生英语写作策略调查研究_英语论文

An Investigation of English Writing Strategies of Senior High School Students

摘要

英语学习中，听、说、读、写是最基本的技能，在这四项技能中，作为听、说、读的综合反映的写作是学生学习和老师教授起来最复杂的技能（文秋芳 132）。然而，就高中生英语学习而言，他们的英语写作情况却不是很乐观，其中最重要的一个问题就是写作策略的有效运用。因此，本论文旨在发现高中生使用了哪些英语写作策略，他们对自己经常使用的写作策略有哪些看法以及这些使用过的策略是否对提高写作有效。

在论文中，本文选取刘志群对写作策略的分类并且采取了问卷调查和个案访谈的方法在双流中学进行了研究调查。本研究的问卷对象为中学生。

通过调查，发现了学生经常使用的一些写作策略，如同伴相互批改策略，背诵策略和一些语言手段。同时，他们对于这些策略的观点也清楚地在调查中表现出来，如，一些学生认为他们所使用的写作策略有效而且能够帮助他们制定写作思路和组织写作。然而一些学生却认为这些策略没有效果并且觉得使用策略写作是在浪费时间。此外，本次调查也找到了一些写作问题。例如，一些学生仅仅使用一种写作策略来指导写作，这样会缺乏系统性的写作指导。更糟糕的是，仍然有一些学生极少使用写作策略，在他们看来，背诵能够解决一切问题。因此，根据本次调查和分析，本论文给高中生提出了一些提高他们写作能力的有效建议。

Abstract

“In the English learning, listening, speaking, reading and writing are the basic skills, and among the four skills, writing, as the integrated reflection of listening, speaking and reading, is the most complicated skill to be learnt or taught.”(Wen Qiufang 132). However, as for the English learning in high school students, their writing situation is not optimistic and one of the most important problems is the using of writing strategies effectively. So this thesis aims to find what kinds of writing strategies high school students use, what the High school students’ views are on the writing strategies which they often use in their writing and whether these strategies are effective. 

In this thesis, it chooses Liu Zhiqun’s classification of writing strategies to do my research in Middle School with the help of questionnaire and individual interview. And the investigation objects are the high school students from middle school. 

Through the investigation, some English writing strategies which students often us are found out such as, peer work strategy, reciting strategy and some linguistic means. And their views about strategies are expressed out clearly, for example, some students think that the strategies they use are effective and they can help students plan their writing thoughts and organize their writings. However, there are still some students thinking that these strategies are not effective, and it is a waste of time when they use to write. What’s more, the investigation also finds some writing problems which exist in high school students’ writings. For example, some students only choose a single writing strategy to write, and it lacks a systematic instruction to help writing. And what’s worse, there are still many students seldom using the writing strategies, and in their opinions, reciting can solve everything. Therefore, according to this investigation and analysis, the thesis is designed to give students some effective suggestions about writing strategies to improve their writing abilities.
