英语写作错误实证分析与多模态隐喻教学研究

An Empirical Analysis on English Writing Errors and Application of Multi-mode Metaphor in the Related Teaching

文章针对英语专业二年级学生所写的64份作文中出现的错误进行实证性研究分析。英语写作中的错误经过识别被分成不同的十个类别。基于以上结果,传统英语写作课程往往单纯从语言技能的角度加强学生写作的操练,而较少涉及非语言素材以及思维模式,即多模态隐喻模式对学生英语写作能力提高的效力。文章基于实证研究结果,建议开展多模态隐喻深入研究并将其应用到英语写作教学中,真正地全方位地提高学生的英语写作能力。这将给予ESL/EFL教师一定启发并构建更为有效的英语写作教学策略。
