让阅读教学为写作保驾护航
关世民. 2011. 中学英语写作教学知识体系的建构、意义、内容与策略〔J〕. 中小学外语教学(中学篇),(2):1-6 写作教学策略是指教师为了实现写作教学预期效果所采取的一系列有效的教学行为(王笃勤,2003)。 科学的写作策略能够使学生迅速、有效地提高写作成绩,使写作学习的过程更加理性和科学。
1. 写作与听说相融合的策略 写作与听说相融合的策略,就是把写作作为强化听说学习、训练内容的辅助手段,在巩固听说涉及的词汇、句型的同时,使学生的写作能力借助听说训练的机会得以强化(Nunan, 2008)。
2. 写作与阅读相融合的策略 写作与阅读相融合的策略就是借助阅读来巩固写作知识和技能。这种策略一般有两种:一种是读后写结构分析。阅读后学生在教师的指导下,分析阅读材料的文体结构和归纳主旨大意,然后把阅读材料各段落的主题句、支撑句和结尾句写出来,再用自己的话概括每个段落的主旨大意。
另一种是读后写感想。阅读后学生根据阅读材料的主题思想,用自己的话写感想,可以认同作者的观点,也可以反驳作者的观点。通过读后写作,培养学生的发散思维和思辨能力,以此强化阅读理解的效果(Wilkins, 1972)。实践证明,结合阅读训练写作是培养学生写作能力的行之有效的教学策略。
写作技能的训练 写作技能训练的内容主要包括:书写技能、仿写技能、改写技能、续写技能和缩写技能
