Construction And Application Of "Five Steps And Two Assessments" Teaching Mode In Senior High School English Writing Based On The View Of English Learning Activities

Writing is an essential expression skill for English learners and a concentrated embodiment of their comprehensive language use ability.It plays an important role in English teaching in senior high schools in China.However,at present,the teaching mode of English writing in senior high schools is relatively simple.Teachers pay too much attention to the explanation of vocabulary,grammar and other language knowledge,ignoring the students’ writing process.When facing the writing task,the students generally have problems such as psychological anxiety of writing,empty content in writing,and no modification after writing.The English Curriculum Standard for Senior High School(2017 Edition)first puts forward the View of English Learning Activities,which points to the core competence of the English subject and points out the direction for the teaching reform in the new era.Scholars have explored the View of English Learning Activities from the theoretical and practical levels and verified its positive impact on English teaching from different perspectives.However,the View of English Learning Activities is not a fixed mode of activities,but a relatively macro way of learning.There is little research on how to implement the View of English Learning Activities in writing class to effectively solve the common problems in senior high school English writing teaching.Under the schema theory and the revised Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives,this paper attempts to construct a "Five step and two assessments" high school English writing teaching mode based on View of English Learning Activities,and applies it to the senior high school English writing to verify the effectiveness of the mode for writing teaching.The main research questions are as follows:(1)Does the "Five Steps and Two Assessments" teaching mode of senior high school English writing based on the View of English Learning Activities have an effect on students’ writing ability? And in which aspects does it affect students’ English writing?(2)What effects does the "Five Steps and Two Assessments" teaching mode based on the View of English Learning Activities have on students’ writing attitude and writing habits?The research selects two parallel classes,totally 90 students in a senior high school from Huanggang city as the research objects,with the English writing test and questionnaire survey conducting the research.The students in the experimental class and the control class are tested on English writing before and after the experiment,mainly to verify the effect of the teaching mode on students’ English writing ability.Through the questionnaire survey of the students in the experimental class and the control class before and after the experiment,the main purpose is to study the effect of the teaching mode on the students’ writing attitude and writing habits.After a 12-week teaching experiment,the result reveals that:(1)The "Five Steps and Two Assessments" teaching mode based on the View of English Learning Activities can significantly improve students’ English writing ability,with improvements in writing content,writing structure and writing language.And the most obvious improvement lies in writing content.(2)"Five Steps and Two Assessments" teaching mode based on the View of English Learning Activities can change students’ writing attitude and promote students to form a good writing habit.
