高中英语读后续写研究述评及启示

An Review of the Research on Continuation Writing for Senior High School English Learning

随着读后续写纳入高考题型,国内相关研究呈现急速增长趋势。本文深入梳理了当前高中英语读后续写研究取得的进展,发现研究主要集中在三方面,即读后续写的促学作用、教学策略和此类测试对英语教学的反拨作用。当前研究肯定了读后续写对学生英语写作技能和心理素质的积极影响,也从教学实践和语言学理论两方面提供了教学策略。研究同时反映了当前读后续写教学中存在的问题,很多师生把提高读后续写的高考分数作为首要目标,在教学和学习方法上存在应试导向,违背了读后续写作为高效外语学习方法的初衷。当前研究较少涉及读后续写测试的效度与信度,教学策略的深度与广度也有待拓展。
