How to use English writing skills comprehensively in writing
In the process of reading, students must try to figure out the author's writing intention and imitate the author's words, sentences and text structure, which is an act of imitating writing. Reading more articles will naturally improve your writing ability.
First, cultivate and improve students' basic language skills.
Listen, speak, read and write? English curriculum standards? It's called basic language skills. Language is vocal, so the accumulation of language is the accumulation of listening and speaking; Language is tangible, so the accumulation of language is also the accumulation of reading and writing; Listening and reading are inputs, and speaking and writing are outputs. Only on the basis of understanding can input and receive, and only on the level of grasping can output be formed; Only efficient input can produce high-quality output. When a certain amount of information is input and basic language skills are used scientifically, the output will come naturally, thus breaking through the bottleneck of writing, so listening and reading are the prerequisites for speaking and writing.
(A long stream of water, cultivate students' listening and speaking ability.
Generally speaking,? Listen. what's up Say? Ready? Write? The beginning of. ? Listen. Although the students didn't speak at that time, but? Write? A period of active silence. ? Listen. Are you ready? Say? And then what? Write? It'll go well. ? Say? what's up Listen. The output behavior of, right? Write? The form of speech. ? Say? Our ability is the ability to express our thoughts in spoken language, which is an important embodiment of human communication activities. Students go through a certain period? Listen. If you master some words, phrases and sentences, you will involuntarily form the habit of opening your mouth under appropriate circumstances, so that you can slowly transition from speaking to speaking clearly. Write? Lay a good foundation.
The author insists that every English class should have a special class? Have a dialogue? Link, combine listening and speaking organically; Every day, according to the order of student numbers, students design and prepare the details of listening and speaking, so that it is their turn to invite other students to make guest appearances in various forms, such as listening to a recorded material or telling an English story before doing it? Ask and answer? Performing textbook plays, dubbing original English movies suitable for students, giving lectures on English topics, reciting poems, introducing the background knowledge of English textbooks, etc. And write the English names of the whole class on a small piece of paper and put them in a transparent plastic box, so that students can draw lots to recite the excellent fragments in the text; In addition, sometimes the students on duty give one? Topic? Like what? My college life? Then organize students to discuss and ask questions in groups according to the relevant content. I entered an excellent university? , I say? Is my college life serious? Finally, pick out the best sentences and spell them into an article. Choose today's star? The brightest star? The students are very enthusiastic about participating, that is, changing passive learning into active learning and combining listening, speaking and writing stably and effectively, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
(2) Start with small things to improve students' reading and writing ability.
? Reading is like breaking thousands of volumes, and writing is like a god? This sentence profoundly reveals the dialectical relationship between reading and writing. ? Reading? Based on what? Listen. And then what? Say? After that, the third task is the central activity of English learning. How does the improvement of reading skills affect the other three skills? The outline has been lifted? The utility of; To improve students' writing ability, we must first improve students' reading ability. However, writing always begins with reading. Reading? Is the only way to write. Reading plays an important role in collecting and arranging materials, choosing and conceiving expressions, and learning how to arrange articles.
? Rome was not built in a day? It is impossible to improve reading ability overnight. Only by adhering to accurate English reading methods and mastering the skills and strategies of solving reading comprehension questions can we gradually improve our reading comprehension ability. The most basic way to read is to guess the content and deep meaning of the article by looking at the overall structure or title of the article, which can be inferred from the following aspects:
A. what is the content of the article? B. what aspects will the author elaborate on? C. how will the content develop? (that is, solving WH /H problems, such as what/when/who/where/how, etc. ). In teaching practice, it can be realized by three-step reading method.
The main steps to solve reading comprehension problems are as follows:
A. look at the stem first and read the article with questions.
That is, read the test questions first, and then read the article. This method strengthens the pertinence of reading, improves the accuracy of doing problems and saves valuable time. That is, the scanning reading method is used for the first reading.
B. read the full text quickly to understand the main idea and theme.
The purpose of reading is to obtain information. A person's reading ability determines whether he can absorb useful information quickly and efficiently. Reading ability generally refers to reading speed and understanding ability. Without a certain reading speed, it is impossible to input information smoothly, let alone use English. That is, use skimming reading method to read for the second time.
C. read the details carefully and straighten out the ideas and context of the article.
According to the characteristics of the article, read the details carefully, take time, place, event, cause and effect as clues, take verbs as keywords, and use the "drawing list method" to draw a complete and clear cognitive map of the theme and details of the article. That is, the third reading is carried out by the method of intensive reading. While listening, speaking and reading training are mentioned above, students' writing ability has been quietly developed and ready to go. Of course, it is essential to conduct writing training in various ways in a planned and purposeful way. For example, after reading the article, arrange students to write comments or book reviews, story outlines, etc. Reading and writing conversion, reading and writing combination, so that students' writing ability and skills can be fully exercised and improved.
Second, use basic skills to get out of the writing bottleneck.
English writing is a multi-level concept, just like a prism, which can be fully embodied? Listen. 、? Say? 、? Reading? And then what? Write? Basic language skills, solid? Listen. 、? Say? 、? Reading? Basic skills contribute to the cultivation of writing ability. In daily teaching activities, the author focuses on how to train students to master basic language skills by sentence pattern practice. When students get enough information, they should deal with the connection between students' basic skills and writing from input to output, and strive to create conditions to help students get out of the writing bottleneck of how to turn input into output, so as to achieve the ability to use language knowledge freely.
Here, it is very important to establish a thesaurus and break through vocabulary barriers. Vocabulary is the sum of words and proverbs in a language, the building material of a language and the most basic material of an article. As the saying goes, without enough vocabulary accumulation, writing is empty talk. Therefore, students should be encouraged to strengthen vocabulary accumulation and understanding of word meaning and part of speech. It is best to build your own vocabulary, so that you can make a good summary, remember the words you have learned in your mind, and establish as many connections as possible between the words themselves. Here, the author usually tries to use association method in teaching.
In English vocabulary teaching, besides explaining the conceptual meaning of a new word, we should pay more attention to the teaching of associative meaning. For example, when learning strike, you should contact the related words war battle and related phrases you have learned before, and use be on strike and verb variant strike. These words are closely related in semantics, so arranging them organically is beneficial to memory and correct use. Therefore, the combination of ideas has played a very good role in teaching.
Third, use the basic skills of language scientifically and get out of the writing bottleneck smoothly.
Listening, speaking, reading and writing are interdependent and complementary. Therefore, writing training should be closely combined with dialogue teaching, reading teaching and listening teaching. For example, after learning the dialogue class, let the students change the dialogue into a short passage; While teaching text reading and cultivating students' reading ability, we should train students' writing skills in various forms and cultivate their writing communication ability in English (including dictation ability, sentence-making ability, sentence-making ability and writing generalization ability, etc.). ); After listening practice, we should consolidate the learning effect of listening by writing, and write what we have heard in the composition book. Comprehensive training of listening, speaking, reading and writing can promote the improvement of students' writing level. An article should have relatively complete content and structure. It usually includes introduction, extension and conclusion. The opening paragraph should be fascinating, arouse readers' interest and curiosity in the content of this article, and provide necessary background knowledge at the same time. This part puts forward the author's views and arguments, and the narrative should be clear and logical. The conclusion part expounds the essence and great significance of the argument, and often ends with powerful sentences to deepen the reader's impression. Common English compositions include narrative, descriptive, expository, argumentative and practical writing.
However, although some students have mastered some basic skills, they don't know how to use them scientifically, and they seem to be unable to write, and the articles they write are boring, let alone write good chapters with flying literary talent. Therefore, mastering the writing steps and skills skillfully can make the language skills you have mastered come in handy, and finally break through the writing bottleneck of transforming input into output, so that wonderful sentences can leap from the page!
A. Seven steps of written expression: carefully examine the questions and determine the writing center; Grasp the main points around the center and list the writing outline; Expand into sentences to form basic semantic units; Sentences are written closely to the theme and expanded into articles; Check and correct mistakes, check well and try to eliminate mistakes; Idioms and proverbs use fixed phrases, idioms and proverbs instead of some words to express their meaning and increase literary talent; Copy the standard handwriting, and copy it carefully.
B. Writing skills: use various sentence patterns flexibly and avoid using the same word or phrase or single sentence pattern; Enhance the coherence and expressiveness of sentences by combining clauses; Learn to use transitional words.
To sum up, combined with the current situation of English writing teaching in my class, I adopt new methods to flexibly combine listening, speaking, reading and writing, on the one hand, let students master enough writing knowledge and lay a solid writing foundation for them. On the other hand, students are more familiar with and understand the criteria of successful writing in the process of listening, speaking, reading and writing, which can promote the cultivation of students' autonomous learning ability. However, it is worth mentioning that due to the differences between students in intelligence and non-intelligence factors, the author tries to find more students who can adapt to different levels and make their teaching more scientific and effective.
English writing training methods enable more students to meet the four basic language skills requirements stipulated in the syllabus, thus training more qualified graduates for the country.
The acquisition of listening, speaking, reading and writing skills needs synchronous and combined training, and its ways are as follows: listening? With what? Reading? Combining the input information into output information after processing; ? Listen. With what? Write? Combine listening comprehension with writing skills, that is, limit writing to specific situations, so that writing practice becomes a comprehensive communicative language practice; ? Say? With what? Write? Combined with spoken language, it contains a large number of structures and words similar to written language to improve students' writing preparation for oral expression; ? Reading? With what? Write? The process of combining writing is actually a process of simulation and reproduction. Students must try to figure out the author's writing intention and imitate the author's words and sentences when reading, which is an act of imitating writing. Reading more articles will naturally improve your writing ability. Therefore, the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing are inseparable. Only when teachers and students master basic language skills and skillfully use them can they get out of the bottleneck of English writing and writing teaching.
