教师反馈及其对高中英语写作的影响
摘要写作是英语学习的重要课程之一,是语言输出最重要的书面表现形式,体现着学生英语学习的综合能力。然而学生仍感觉写作是难度最大的一部分,此外,目前我国高中学生英语写作水平依旧不理想。原因是师生时常忽视了写作中教师反馈。教师反馈是提高学生写作水平的重要途径,在英语写作教学中有着不容忽视的作用。因此,如何给出有效的教师反馈非常重要。
本文以反馈理论为理论依据,结合采用问卷、访谈等调查方式,研究了高中英语写作的教师反馈类型,作用以及学生对教师写作反馈的看法。大多数学生认为教师的反馈对提高写作能力有很大的帮助。但是教师反馈与学生实际需要直接仍然存在着不一致现象。
研究表明教师写作反馈是英语教学的有效辅导手段,为学生写作提供了很大的帮助。本研究结果对于高中英语教师如何给出有效写作反馈提供建议。
