英语论说文教学的社会认知模式及其课堂运用

A Socio-Cognitive Model to the Teaching of Expository Writing and Its Classroom Application

文章以论说文入手,借助语类理论和写作认知论,提出了大学英语论说文教学的社会认知模式,并探讨该模式在课堂中的运用。该模式以语类规范、思维训练和语法知识为教学重点,突出学生"读者意识"与"修辞目标意识"的培养,是大学英语论说文教学的一种新尝试。

Drawing on genre theory and Flower&Hayes’ cognitive model of writing, the present study proposes a socio-cognitive model to the teaching of expository writing and discusses its application in college English expository writing instruction. The proposed model focuses on the teaching of genetic conventions, the associated thinking process and the related grammatical knowledge, and highlights the training of students’ “awareness of the target readers” and their “rhetorical goal-directed thinking”. The model is expected to be a new attempt for instructing English expository writing in colleges.
