Analysis and Reflection on Teaching Materials of English Writing ClassThe following are some of the main points of the analysis and reflection of the teaching materials for the English writing class:
** I. Analysis of Teaching Materials **
1. ** Description **
- For example, the content structure of the teaching material of Oxforddiscover was systematic. It had 18 units and 9 topics, and each topic contained two articles. In the writing specialization, there was special writing training for these nine topics. This kind of structure helps to carry out writing teaching step by step according to the topic, so that students can accumulate relevant writing materials and skills under different topics.
- For high school English textbooks, in the analysis of the writing lesson plan, it was necessary to pay attention to the setting of the essay topic for each unit in the textbook and the writing requirements in the accompanying exercises. For example, some teaching materials might first read the article in the unit study, and then guide the students to write through reading, such as learning the idea, structure, and some expressions of writing from the article.
2. [Skill Guidance]
- In the teaching materials of Oxforddiscover, the writing specialization was better at guiding students from reading to writing. It taught students how to think. Through drawing mind maps and writing outlines, students could build their own writing framework. Finally, it also guided students on how to modify drafts. This kind of step-by-step guidance on writing skills helps to improve students 'writing ability.
- In the high school English textbook, there might be some writing points, outlines, methods, and so on. For example, in some units, there will be some usable sentence patterns. For example, in writing describing opinions, there will be "I do not agree with..." I think I should be allowed to.. I would like to..”These sentence patterns are important material for students to write. When the teacher analyses the teaching plan, he needs to know how to guide the students to use these sentence patterns for effective writing.
3. ** Connection with other knowledge **
- In the textbook of Oxforddiscover, it was related to natural pronunciation and grammar. For example, the content of the Spelling specialization not only involved the pronunciation rules of letters in natural pronunciation, but also grammar related content such as alphabets, which helped students accurately spell words in writing and use the correct grammar structure.
- In high school English textbooks, writing was also closely related to other knowledge and skills. For example, students tend to make sentences in Chinese, which involves the correct use of English grammar and vocabulary, as well as the cultivation of English language habits. The reading articles in the textbooks could provide language input for writing, help students learn English expression habits, and avoid the emergence of Chinglish.
** 2. Reflection **
1. ** Teaching Effect **
- Judging from the students 'writing results, there were many problems. In the final examination, the average score for writing may be lower, such as only 6 - 7 (15 points in total). Many students had serious shortcomings in their writing. Some students only wrote a few words (or even copied them from the questions), while others had a lot of sentence errors and even wrote nothing. This reflected the problems in the current writing teaching. It could be that the teaching methods did not effectively let students master writing skills, or that they did not pay enough attention to the cultivation of students 'writing ability.
- In daily teaching, although teachers spend a lot of time explaining, guiding, and classroom training on the composition of each unit, such as explaining the main points, outlines, and methods of writing, the effect is not ideal, especially for students with learning difficulties. This might be because there was too much teaching content, and students could not fully absorb and apply this writing knowledge when they were in junior high school or high school.
2. ** Student Questions **
- The students themselves were afraid of learning English, especially writing. Some students thought that English was difficult since they had poor grades in primary school. In the higher grades, as the content of the study increased and became more difficult, this mentality became more serious. They had the idea of giving up, which was a great obstacle to writing teaching.
- Students are prone to making various mistakes in their writing, such as using Chinese to make sentences, making many grammar mistakes, and having poor ability to plan the layout and cohesion of the article. When the outline was translated into English, it would be translated word by word according to the language thinking, without considering the integrity and legibility of the sentence. This reflected that the students had not really mastered the way of thinking and basic skills of English writing.
3. ** Directions for Teaching and Learning **
- Teachers could learn from the guidance method in the teaching materials like the Oxford discover from reading to writing, and pay more attention to cultivating students 'writing thinking in the design of teaching plans. For example, after explaining the reading of the article, guide the students to analyze the structure of the article, language expression, etc., and then let the students imitate the writing.
- Teachers could adopt a more targeted approach to students 'mistakes. For example, he would show the students 'typical mistakes and let the students find the mistakes and correct them together. At the same time, he would give the key words and key structures on the blackboard to gradually guide the students to perfect the sentences and cultivate their correct writing habits. In addition, the teaching content should be arranged reasonably to avoid too much and too complicated content, so that students could better digest and absorb the knowledge related to writing.

English writing for the middle and high school transition classThere are many differences in English writing between junior high school and senior high school, so the English writing part in the transition class between junior high school and senior high school has great significance.
In terms of writing requirements, the score of the high school entrance examination composition was lower than that of the college entrance examination, and the word count requirement was also lower. The high school entrance examination composition tended to describe specific things and give writing direction, while the college entrance examination composition was more difficult, such as requiring students to write letters to foreign teachers and less guidance. High school English essays emphasized thinking and creativity, requiring students to think deeply about the topic and express their original opinions.
In terms of common mistakes, mistakes such as inconsistent subject and verb, number, tense, and pronoun in high school writing needed to be avoided. This required students to have a stronger foundation in grammar.
The following aspects should be taken into account in the course: First, to make students realize the differences in writing requirements between junior and senior high schools and pay attention to them from the perspective of thinking; Second, to help students accumulate vocabulary and grammar knowledge to meet the needs of the depth, breadth and difficulty of senior high school writing; Third, to cultivate students 'ability to think deeply and express accurately on topics; The fourth was to guide the students to do more high school English writing exercises. At the same time, they could learn the structure, ideas, and expressions of some excellent model essays to improve their writing skills.
