| English writing plays an important role in college English teaching in China,but most of the assessment methods are based on summative test.This kind of assessment method has single assessment content,mechanical evaluation standard,overemphasizing the results and ignoring the learning process,which is not conducive to promoting the comprehensive development of students’ writing ability.Therefore,based on the current situation of English writing teaching,the researcher applies dynamic assessment to college English writing teaching,and relies on the campus intelligent teaching network platform i Write system to guide English writing teaching,hoping to enhance students’ interest in English writing and improve their English writing ability.Based on Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Development Theory and Dynamic Assessment,this paper constructs a college English writing model based on scaffolding,and uses i Write system as an intervention tool to explore the intermediary process of dynamic assessment in College English writing from micro and macro levels,so as to guide college English writing teaching.This paper aims to solve four problems:(1)Will the teaching of English writing based on dynamic assessment enhance students’ English writing ability more effectively?(2)Compared with the control class,can the students in the experimental class apply English writing strategies more actively?(3)Will the teaching of English writing based on dynamic assessment improve the students’ writing content,organization,vocabulary,language use and mechanics?(4)What is the experimental class students’ attitude towards the teaching of English writing based on dynamic assessment?In this study,82 subjects come from two parallel classes of non English majors in Shenyang Normal University,and their English proficiency is the same.The experimental class and the control class adopt the writing teaching method based on dynamic assessment and the traditional English writing teaching method to guide the writing respectively,and use the i Write system to assist the teaching.The research methods of the experiment are experiment,questionnaire,test and interview.The research tools are questionnaire,English writing test and interview outline.In the course of a semester(15 weeks),the researchers collected questionnaire data and writing test data.All results were compared and analyzed by SPSS16.0.The results show that:(1)After the experiment,the application of dynamic assessment in writing class has a positive effect and improves the writing achievement of the students in the experimental class.(2)Compared with the control class,the writing strategies of the experimental class are significantly improved.(3)Compared with the control class,the students’ writing performance in the experimental class has been significantly improved in three aspects: writing content,organization and language use.However,the improvement in vocabulary and mechanics is not significant.(4)The students in the experimental class hold a positive attitude towards the teaching of English writing based on dynamic assessment,and the writing situation is significantly improved.The application of dynamic assessment to College English writing teaching is a new design attempt,which provides a new perspective and practical support for foreign language teaching.Through the intervention of i Write system and the intervention activities of pre-writing,while-writing and post-writing,this study optimizes the writing teaching process of dynamic assessment,stimulates students’ interest in writing,promotes the interaction between teachers and students,and improves students’ writing ability. |
