随着语言教学重点的转移 ,写作教学的中心也由“结果教学法”转向了“过程教学法”。鉴于对学生写作过程了解越多 ,对学生的帮助越大 ,本文采用问卷、有声写作和访问的方法 ,先通过SPSS软件对英语专业学生写作过程中策略使用与写作水平的关系进行了定量分析 ,再通过个案研究着重比较了英语写作成功者和不成功者在策略使用上的不同。研究发现他们在文章构思。

As the focus of writing teaching has shifted from 'product-based approach' to 'process-based approach', the present study intends to investigate the use of writing strategies during the writing process via a quantitative-oriented study and a qualitative-oriented study. The former is a questionnaire investigation, which examines the correlation between each writing strategy and writing proficiency of 66 English majors. The latter, aided by interviews, focuses on the think-aloud composing of 4 successful and 4 unsuccessful EFL writers. The study finds that major differences between successful and unsuccessful writers are: (1) the former plan more during both pre-drafting and drafting, (2) the former tend to focus more on the expression of ideas and idiomatic expression, while the latter pay more attention to spelling and grammar, (3) the former revise more than the latter and are more liable to revise at sentence level and discourse level.
