初中生写作过程中的教师介入_英语论文.doc

Abstract:In recent years, the education in the primary school and the middle school focuses on developing students’ listening and speaking skills, which, however, pays little attention to the enhancement of students’ writing ability. Moreover, English examinations that adopt many objective items make teachers attach little importance to writing. The traditional product-oriented teaching approach makes the writing class incredibly boring and students may have a negative feeling of writing. Meanwhile, the process of improving writing skills may take a long time and need patience, which make students lose confidence in writing.

In order to help teachers to intervene timely and appropriately in the writing process, this paper sets the intervention of the teacher in the writing process as a study focus. What’s more, this paper analyses the main principles used by teachers when intervening by applying the theory of teachers’ intervention in the writing process. In addition, this paper also shows some specific methods about teachers’ intervention at different writing stages. At last, a sample teaching in narrative writing process is showed to illustrate how the teacher’s intervening is carried out in the process of writing.

Key words: teaching of writing in junior high school; teachers’ intervention; process-oriented teaching approach.
