【摘要】 英语写作不仅是非常重要的语言技能,也是衡量学生英语水平的重要标志。此外,写作在各类英语考试中占较大比重。然而,当今英语学习者的写作水平并不乐观。大多数中国的高中生从小学就开始学习英语,然而虽然他们积累了大量的词汇和语法规则,却很难写出连贯逻辑性强的文章。因此,寻找有效的方式来提高英语写作的教学及学习成为一个亟待解决的任务。主位推进模式是韩礼德系统功能语法中的一个重要分支。理论上,每个句子都有它的主位和述位。主位和述位之间的联系就叫做主位推进模式。主位推进模式作为促进语篇连贯的一种手段引起了部分学者的注意。他们开始通过分析学生的作文样本来研究主位推进模式与英语写作连贯的关系,并大力提倡将主位推进模式应用于实际教学。本文以主位推进模式为基础,探讨主位推进模式的应用对高中生英语写作的影响,旨在提出一种更有效更实用的英语写作教学方法。本研究运用了定量研究和定性研究相结合的方法,使用的工具包括问卷、实验和访谈。实验分为前测和后测,SPSS 22.0被用来进行具体的相关分析。本研究的研究对象是来自辽宁省实验中学的90名高二学生,他们来自于两个班级,其中,一个班级为实验班,另一个为对照班。研究问题如下:1.主位推进模式的应用对高中生英语写作有什么影响?2.应用主位推进模式后,学生对英语写作的态度有何变化?在历经一个学期的训练后,作者发现实验组的学生在英语写作方面较控制组有明显的提高,因此在高中英语写作中引入主位推进模式是实用的有效的。然而,本研究在实施中仍然还存在着一些不足,需要在实践中不断改进。
【Abstract】 English writing is not only an important language skill but also an important criterion for measuring English learners’ English competence.What’s more,writing accounts for a large proportion in English examinations.However,the actual writing ability of them is far from satisfactory.Most of Chinese senior school students have been studying English since they were at primary school.Although they have accumulated a great deal of vocabulary and specific grammar rules,they find it difficult to write down their ideas logically and coherently.Hence,it is an urgent task to find an effective way to help students improve their English writing ability.Thematic progression pattern is an important branch of Halliday’s study of Systemic Functional Grammar.In theory,each sentence has its own theme and rheme.The relationship between theme and their rheme is called Thematic Progression.Thematic progression pattern has attracted some scholars’ attention considered as one of the discourse coherent devices.They have begun to research on the relationship between thematic progression pattern and discourse coherence in English writing by analyzing sample compositions from students and strongly advocate that thematic progression pattern should be applied to practical English teaching.The thesis is based on thematic progression pattern explore the effect of thematic progression pattern on English writing in senior high schools,aiming to present a more effective and more practical English writing teaching method.Both quantitative and qualitative data analysis are adopted in this study.Instruments used in the study contain questionnaires,experiments and interview.Experiments are conducted through pre-test and post-test.SPSS 22.0 is used to make data analysis.The subjects are 90 students from two classes of Grade two in Liaoning Province Shiyan High School.One class is the experimental class.One class is the control class.The study mainly deals with the following two questions:1.What is the effect of thematic progression pattern on senior high school students’ English writing?2.What are students’ changes of attitudes towards English writing after the application of TP?After a semester’s training,the author finds that students in the experimental group have made much further progress in English writing than students in the controlled class.And it is practical and effective to introduce thematic progression pattern to English writing in senior school.However,the study still has some shortcomings that need to be improved in practice.
