中文摘要:英语写作是英语学习中非常重要的组成部分,它能反映出学生多方面的语言运用能力。图式理论是认知心理学家们用以解释心理过程的一种理论。近些年,图式理论逐步发展并被广泛应用到外语教学领域,特别在英语阅读和听力的教学中,而应用于英语写作教学中的研究尚不多见。本研究尝试将图式理论应用到初中英语写作教学中,在回顾图式的概念和形式,初步了解了现阶段国内外图式理论应用于英语写作教学的研究现状之后,选取调查对象进行问卷调查和访谈。调查和访谈结果显示初中生在语言图式和形式图式上存在较多问题,具体表现为写作中出现较多语言错误,大多数学生在写作过程中没有列提纲的习惯。针对如上问题,提出如下解决策略:在教学中引导学生读写结合,广泛阅读,有利于学生积累语言和内容图式知识;让学生养成写作前先列提纲的习惯可以有助于其形成良好的形式图式。
