Abstract

As a new writing genre introduced after the college entrance examination reform in China, continuation writing presents significant challenges in teaching and evaluation due to its complexity and low efficiency. Therefore, developing strategies to address the practical challenges in the teaching of continuation writing has become a pressing issue. This paper comprehensively analyzes and summarizes the theoretical foundation, pedagogical and assessment value, and classroom teaching practices of continuation writing. Additionally, it proposes suggestions for future teaching and evaluation to cultivate students' continuation writing skills.
