Abstract


Writing is one of the most important means for people to communicate and also a necessary skill for EFL learners to master. In China, New English Curriculum Standard gives a new demand to writing. Among the four skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), writing is one of the concerns for English teachers in senior high schools of China. However, many students cannot write a good and complete composition after years of English learning. Many English teachers have realized the importance of the teaching English writing, but they lack systematic and effective strategies and methods for the teaching of writing. Students have no interest and confidence in English writing. Of course, the results of writing are far from satisfaction.In order to improve the present situation of English writing teaching, the author brings the process approach into senior English writing teaching. Based on Flower and Hayes’ cognitive process theory of writing and the theory of communication, this paper attempts to guide the students to English writing with the process approach in senior high schools and find out the effect of the process approach in senior high schools by experiment. This research aims at making the students grasp suitable methods of every process of English writing and improving their writing ability. It is also intended to arouse students’ interest and raise their confidence in English writing.In order to find out the effect of the process approach in English writing teaching, a post-test, a post-questionnaire for students and an evaluation of the process approach are carried out to collect the results of the experiment. By analyzing and comparing the results of the experiment carefully, it can be concluded that the process approach is effective in helping students raise their interest and confidence in English writing. They are happy to take part in English writing activities and processes. Above all, it can improve students’ writing abilities greatly. In summary, the process approach provides good methods for the teaching of English writing. It can make students realize the importance of the writing processes and cultivate students’ writing abilities. By meaningful communication in the writing activities, students can develop, broaden and express their ideas. More importantly, they can achieve the final aim of English learning—communication in the real world.
