【摘要】 本文报道一项英语写作教学方法的比较实验。“结果法”和“过程法”是目前国内采用较多的两种英语写作教学法。该试验旨在通过实验比较“结果法”与“过程法”对于提高中国大学非英语专业学生英语写作水平的有效性。结果表明 ,对于中国大学非英语专业学生而言 ,采用“结果法”比“过程法”能更有效地提高他们的英语写作水平。作者认为 ,在中国这样一个把英语作为外语学习的环境里 ,采用什么样的教学方法要取决于学生具体的文化、社会背景 ,不能一味追求国外的各种外语教学法 ,而对传统教学法一概否定更多还原

【Abstract】 The paper investigates whether product approach is more effective than process approach in EFL college English context in China. 64 Chinese college EFL students were divided into two groups, for which product and process approaches were respectively provided. The two groups were compared in terms of the scores on the tests. The results show that the group under the product writing instruction has achieved higher rate of gains in writing proficiency than the group under the process writing instruction. The study suggests that whatever methods and approaches are applied in language teaching the teacher should take into account the distinctions between ESL and EFL, and the cultural and social background of students in China should be an essential factor in determining the specific approach adopted.更多还原
