| The function of reading is to help students to get vocabulary,language structure and knowledge.In addition,it is the source of language input.Writing is not only the form of output,but also represents the comprehensive abilities of using the language.If we combine the reciprocal process(reading and writing)together,we can better help students improve their English learning,especially in terms of absorbing knowledge and expressing their ideas.During the teaching process of Reading-Writing Integration,mind-mapping which works as a visible cognitive thinking tool can run through Reading-Writing Integration,spark the students' inspiration,expand the students' ideas and lead the students to Divergent Thinking.All of these contribute to the lively class of Reading-Writing Integration.On the basis of mind-mapping,the study focuses on the relationship between the input and output of language,and aims to construct the model of the Junior Middle School English Teaching of Reading-Writing Integration.Meanwhile,the following questions will be discussed in the study.Is mind-mapping able to effectively improve the Reading-Writing grades of the students in junior middle school? When mind-mapping is applied in the teaching,what aspects of Reading-Writing Integration will be influenced by mind-mapping? What are the views of students on mind-mapping used in the teaching?During the study,the author's two classes are treated as the subject of study.In the Reading-Writing Integration course,students get the structure,beautiful expressions and transitions from the reading materials and use them in the articles by mind-mapping which works as a bridge connecting reading and writing together.With the help of mind-mapping,students can carry on with self-editing and peer-editing after writing.During this period of time,students had writing tests and a questionnaire on mind-mapping before and after the teaching model.The author analyzed the data with SPSS and interviewed the colleagues and the students in the experiment class.Quantitative analysis and the results of interviews reveal that,mind-mapping can effectively improve the junior school students' ability of Reading-writing integration.Students can accumulate a large number of vocabulary and sentence structures.Meanwhile,they can also make their articles more logical and learn to evaluate the articles through mind-mapping.Mind-mapping not only improves students' writing level,but also makes a great contribution to the students' learning attitudes,confidence and emotional values.The students are willing to accept and use mind-mapping in their study. |
