在中学英语写作教学中培养学生的批判性思维能力

On Cultivating Students＇ Critical Thinking Ability in English Writing Lessons

目前中学英语写作教学依然以要求学生语言正确无误为教学目的，把记忆模仿、机械重复作为主要的教学方式，忽视了批判性思维能力的培养，从而难以从根本上提高学生的写作能力。因此，笔者提出需在写作教学中注重发展学生的批判性思维能力，并通过实例分析的方式具体论述了从帮助学生树立批判性思维的概念、设置不同的写作任务、分析输入文本、反思写作内容及在评价中激励批判性思维等方面来培养学生的批判性思维能力。

Currently, English teachers still emphasize the importance of memorizing and imitating when they teach writing. However, this kind of teaching method has been an obstacle to the improvement of students＇ critical thinking ability, thus leading to their bad performance in writing tasks. The author, therefore, puts forward the suggestion that teachers should focus their minds on the cultivation of students＇ critical thinking ability. The author then illustrates some ways to cultivate students＇ critical thinking ability in writing through case analysis.
