A Practice Study on the Teaching of English “Micro-discourse” Writing in Junior High School based on the Concept of Production-oriented Approach

Abstract

English writing, as a crucial link in English teaching, is a learning method based on the features of language use of English, cultivating students' integrating skills of using English language and realizing their self-expression. In view of the writing dilemmas such as lack of motivation and knowledge, Separation between Learning and Using, singularity of evaluation in junior high school English writing teaching, this thesis will propose a “micro-discourse” writing method based on the theory of production-oriented approach, which takes “micro-length,” “micro-elements” and “micro-conception” as the design ideas, and takes output-driven, input-enabled, output practice, and teacher-student evaluation as the teaching route to develop new learning strategies and teaching methods. Therefore, it can stimulate students' motivation for language learning, effectively cultivate autonomous learning ability, realize their absorption and internalization of writing knowledge, and truly improve junior high school students' English writing, as well as provide new ideas for exploring optimal English teaching methods, and further implement the reform requirements for English teaching in junior high school as set forth in English Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education.
