以语块为核心促进大学英语写作教学

Promote the Teaching of Writing in College English with Lexical Chunk-centred Method

大学生英语作文中常常可以见到语法正确,但表达不地道、不符合本族语表达习惯的中式英语,即使词汇量大、语法基础好的学生写出的作文也不例外。为了改善这一状况,教师应在写作教学中引入语块教学的新理念,即引导学生在语法基础上以固定搭配、成语、固定或半固定短语等语块而不是单个的词来组织话语,在写作教学中以语块为核心,设计多稿写作的任务链,使学生在拓展并应用语块的过程中提高写作能力。

In college students' compositions,there often appears Chinglish,which is correct in grammar,but not idiomatic or don't agree with the habitual expression of the native,even those better students with sufficient vocabulary and good command of grammar are no exceptions.In order to improve the situation,the teachers should introduce the new idea of lexical chunk teaching into the teaching of writing,that is,to guide the students,on the base of grammar,to compose discourse with lexical chunks such as collocations,idioms,fixed and semifixed phrases rather than words.It lays stress on the central role of lexical chunks in the teaching of writing.Teachers can design multitask chains.The students are expected to improve their writing ability in the process of developing and applying the lexical chunks.
