一项关于中国英语学习者的写作及修改过程的研究

A Study on Chinese EFL Learners' Writing and Revising Processes

本研究试图揭示英语学习者如何处理在英语写作和修改时碰到的语言问题。本实验的结果从写作及修改两个角度支持了Swain的输出假设。实验结果表明受试有能力发现和修改他们作文中的错误，还表明老师划出错误的地方让学生修改对受试改错有帮助。改错在帮助学生提高语言的准确有着重要的作用，这对大学的英语写作教学具有积极的启示意义。

The present study sets out to unveil how EFL learners tackle language problems while drafting and revising their compositions. The results lent support to Swain's Output Hypothesis from both writing and revising perspectives. It was found that those EFL learners were capable of detecting and correcting the errors of their written drafts. The findings show that identification of errors by the teachers appears to be an effective means of helping students correct their grammar errors. In addition, revision plays an important role in helping EFL learners improve language accuracy. This function deserves special consideration in second language instruction.
