The Application Of The Reading-based Writing Skill Teaching Strategy In Grades 7 â•Ÿ 9 Chinese Course Unit Teaching

In the educational reform, there are various new educational ideas in The Curriculum Standard of the Chinese Course in the Full-time Compulsory Education. There are more specific requirements and suggestions on reading and writing teaching. The textbooks are still unit-based. Hence units are still regarded as the basis of the whole teaching. Both reading and writing are seen closely related in the textbook compilation. Nevertheless, reading and writing are taught separately. That is, there are few connections between reading and writing teaching in classes. Thus, texts are merely taught to develop the students'reading skill, while writing is taught for its own right. In such cases, the reading texts in Grades 7-- 9 textbooks are not sufficiently used in classes. Actually the writing skill should be taught on the basis of text reading. Thus both the students'reading and writing skills can be more effectively improved.This thesis is intended to advocate the"reading-based writing teaching"strategy in Grades 7 -- 9 Chinese course teaching. That is, in each unit teaching in Grades 7 -- 9, the reading skill should be taught with specific writing aims, while the writing skill should be taught effectively so that the students'reading skill can be enhanced. Thus, the transfer from reading skill teaching to writing skill teaching can be realized in the unit teaching. In doing so, much attention should be paid to the reality of reading and writing teaching and the students'psychological characteristics. Hence, the writing knowledge and teaching objective should be further specified so that they can be specifically taught in each unit.There are three chapters in this thesis.Chapter One is literature review presenting relevant researches, history and present condition of reading and writing teaching. It is true that there are many researches on unit teaching and the coordination between reading and writing teaching. However, there are few researches on the coordination between reading and writing in unit teaching. So it is necessary to do such researches.Chapter Two presents the application of the"reading-based writing teaching"strategy in Grades 7 -- 9 Chinese course. Firstly, attention should be paid to the three factors of language sense, writing psychology and writing practice in unit reading teaching. Secondly, the writing skill should be taught with the help of reading knowledge. That is, the writing procedure can be guided with backward reading; the writing can be evaluated with the comparative reading method; and the article can be bettered with the intensive reading method. Thirdly, three cases are presented so as to show how such a strategy can be used in unit teaching.Chapter Three discusses the qualifications of teachers in implimenting the"reading-based writing teaching"strategy including the conception of material management, the theoretical foundation of reading and writing, the class teaching ability and the transfer anticipation ability.
