英文写作失误述评

On mistakes in English writings

在英文写作中,母语策略、书面语体和口语语体混淆、思维模式偏差等是产生种种失误的主要原因。因此,在写作课教学过程中要培养学生的读者意识,就要(1)倡导西方修辞学传统;(2)导入语用分析;(3)进行文化对比;(4)二次讲评。

Based on an analysis of all kinds of mistakes in the students’ English writings, the author draws a conclusion that it is mainly because of mother-tongue strategy, the blending of varieties, and different ways of thinking that these mistakes are made. She then points out that it is up to the teachers to help their students develop an awareness of readers as native speakers in order to pave way for smooth cross-cultural communication in the form of writing. She also states that four approaches — rhetoric tradition employment, pragmatic analysis, contrast Chinese and re-correction — should be introduced into writing course.
