英语读后续写对高中生创造性思维的影响研究

Investigating the effects of English continuation writing tasks on senior high school students’creative thinking

本文基于高中英语课堂教学,考察了不同类型的英语读后续写对高中生创造性思维的影响。在教学过程中,40名高中生完成了限制性英语读后续写和无限制性英语读后续写。研究发现,不同类型的读后续写对高中生的创造性思维具有不同的影响。无限制性英语读后续写能显著提升高中生创造性思维的逻辑性、变通性和独特性。与限制性英语读后续写相比,无限制性英语读后续写因为没有首句与关键词的约束,能更好地激发高中生的想象力与创造力,即能有效发展其创造性思维。

This paper explored the effect of different English continuation writing tasks on senior high school students’creative thinking.40 students finished different writing tasks,including one continuation writing task with some restrictions and one without restrictions.The study showed that different continuation writing tasks had different influences on learners’creative thinking.Specifically,the non-restricted continuation writing task significantly improved students’logic,flexibility and originality in creative thinking.Compared with restricted continuation writing tasks,non-restricted continuation writing tasks,with no restrictions on first sentences and key words,could better stimulate students’imagination and creativity.Therefore,it was more effective for teachers to employ non-restricted continuation writing tasks in developing senior high school students’creative thinking.
