基于语料库的英语写作教学新模式

A New Corpus-based Pattern to the Teaching of English Writing

语料库是基于大量真实的语言资料，以电子形式收集的真实语言文本数据库，利用语料库研究语言的特征已成为语料库最重要的应用之一。在外语教学领域，语料库已经成为一个热门话题并孕育着十分广阔的应用前景。写作教学是外语教学中的薄弱环节之一，语料库的兴起对写作具有重要启示，语料库在写作中的作用主要体现在作为参考工具与研究工具等方面。鼓励师生在真实的语言环境中通过自我探索，发现语言使用的规律，可以更准确地掌握和运用英语。作为一种新的写作教学模式，体现了以学生为中心的教学思想。

To study linguistic features of certain language is one of its most important applications and it has become a hot issue in EFL field. Writing is one of the weak aspects in EFL teaching and corpus has shown important implications for it since a corpus can be consulted as a referential tool or a study tool. The essence of a corpus for writing is to encourage students and teachers to find out the rules of language use in a authentic context.
