Writing plays an important role in English learning,and it is an important indicator to measure the level of English.In the current teaching of senior high school English writing,one-way teacher teaching is still the mainstream.Under such a teaching method,students' initiative and their interest is low in learning.At the same time,students cannot interact with each other.Based on the above issues,this study proposes the application of peer-assisted learning in the teaching of senior high school English writing.Peer-assisted learning refers to learning activities to acquire knowledge and skills through active assistance and support from partners of equal status or matching.From the perspective of positive,this paper selects two classes with the same basic situations in a senior high school in Wuhan to conduct a comparative experiment to study the actual effect of peer-assisted learning in high school English writing teaching.This article is divided into four parts:introduction,concept definition and theoretical basis,pre-test analysis and teaching design,experiment process and result analysis.The first part introduces the background of this study and illustrates the advantages of peer-assisted learning in the teaching of English writing.Then it briefly introduces the content and significance of this study,and expounds the main research ideas and methods used in this paper.Finally,it teases out the current research status of peer-assisted learning and senior high school English writing at home and abroad.The second part mainly discusses the specific concept of peer-assisted learning and its relationship with cooperative learning.Then it discusses the theoretical basis of this article,namely the theory of constructivism and the theory of the recent development zone.The third part sorts out the problems in the current senior high school English writing teaching by issuing questionnaires,interviews,and other forms.Then it constructs a flow chart of senior high school English writing teaching design based on peer-assisted learning and elaborates the analysis and design involved in the flow chart.The fourth part is the process and summary of the experiment.The author selects two cases of peer-assisted learning,and verifies and analyzes the application effect of peer-assisted learning from four aspects:questionnaires,interviews,student compositions,and evaluation scales.Finally,the deficiencies in the research are summarized,which provide reference for the research on the effect of peer-assisted learning in the future.The research results in this paper show that the implementation of peer-assisted learning in senior high school English writing teaching can better mobilize the enthusiasm of students,inspire students' interest in learning,cultivate students' mutual aid awareness in the learning process,and enhance students' independent thinking and communication expression and improve the level English writing.
