Abstract

Writing is a necessary curriculum in learning English, for it is a comprehensive skill that fosters students to cultivate creative thinking and enhance verbal communication. In recent years, with the refinements of English teaching methodology and writing instructions, many scholars gradually change the traditional writing approaches (the product approaches) into the process approaches. Furthermore, teacher feedback has been an indispensable process in the approaches of teaching writing, and it reveals fervent discussion in the second language acquisition. However, in the course of advanced English writing, there exist many defects in terms of teacher feedback to assist students in improving the writing ability. To solve this problem, the thesis is to collect and analyze relevant researches from scholars at home and abroad at first. Then, compared with the relative researches, the paper is to propose some suggestions and methods of effective feedback by the methods of survey and interview. The conclusion of this paper is that there are two factors in improving students’ writing. One is the teachers’ responsibility for enhancing students’ writing ability and developing their awareness of self-revision, the other is students’ awareness of elevating their writing levels and skills.

Keywords: advanced English writing; teacher feedback; process approaches; second language acquisition

摘要

写作是英语学习的必要课程，它能提高学生的交际和培养学生思维创造的综能力。近年来，随着英语教学方法和教学指导的改善，国内外学者渐渐将传统的写作教学法—结果教学法转向过程教学法，而教师反馈成为了英语写作过程教学法中必不可少缺少的一部分，并在第二语言习得方面引起了学者们的广泛关注。但是，在写作教学中仍然存在着很多的不足，特别是教师反馈的信息不足，使学生的写作水平提高有限。针对这一问题，本文整理一些国内外学者对于该领域的研究，调查了英语专业学生对写作反馈的看法，采取问卷调查、采访的形式，并结合最新的调查结果，提出了写作教学的建议和一些有效的教师反馈。论文最后得出了以下结论：不仅教师有义务提高学生的写作水平和发展他们的自我修改文章的意识，而且学生应该养成自我提高写作水平和技巧的意识。
