衔接理论与大学英语写作教学的改进

Cohesion theory and teaching of English writing

根据Halliday关于语篇衔接的理论,通过定量的语料就衔接手段在两组作文中的应用进行横向及纵向的对比分析,发现学生习作在语法衔接和词汇衔接方面存在若干问题,建议教师从培养学生积极的写作习惯、思维模式、扩大词汇量等方面改进写作教学方法。

Result shows that the students have difficulties using grammatical and lexical cohesions. It is also suggested that the teachers should center on the writing habits, mode of thinking and vocabulary in the teaching of English.
