Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the four basic skills in English teaching. But it is commonly accepted that"writing"is the weakest of the four. Based on Corder's theoretical researches on Error Analysis, Language Transfer and Language Input, the thesis investigates the errors made by 100 students in Grade Two of Shazhou Senior High School and then summarizes recitation input can help the students understand the English Language System through pre-test, test and post-test. What's more, language input can help students grasp vocabulary, grammar and sentence patterns. In addition, language input can enhance the students'language ability and decrease the number of Chinglish. In a word, language input can improve the students'writing ability and English teaching in writing of senior high school.And then, I analyze and summarize the feedback strategies English teachers should adopt in English teaching through individual interview and questionnaire and the Theory of Teacher Feedback. Due to the errors'necessity, teachers should take advantage of the value of errors and make the feedback effective. In the course of feedback, in order to make the students study English in a relaxing and happy atmosphere, teachers should make feedbacks timely, distinctly and properly. The study provides the use for reference for the teaching of English writing in senior schools. When we try and explore new teaching methods, we shouldn't ignore our traditional teaching methods and make the most use of language input and feedback to improve the English writing teaching of Senior High School.
