基于体裁教学法的理工科研究生学术英语写作教学探索

以Swales和Bhatia的体裁分析理论为依据,借鉴Feez及韩萍和侯丽娟的体裁教学法,采取定性研究方法,探究体裁教学法的课堂教学模式对学习者学术英语写作能力发展的影响。该教学模式包括“确定语境—建立模式—比较分析—独立写作”四步。课程结束时,学生的学术论文、范文分析作业、问卷调查等用于检验教学效果。通过一学期的教学,学生的体裁意识增强,能够运用体裁知识解析学术英语论文,并应用到学术写作中。该模式能有效提高学生学术论文写作能力,对于理工科研究生的学术英语写作教学具有借鉴意义。

Developing English Academic Writing Competence of Science-Major Graduates Through Genre-Based Instruction

Based on Swalesand Bhatia''s genre analysis theory,and drawing on teaching models by Feezand Han & Hou,this qualitative study ananlyses English academic writing(EAW) classroom teaching for science-major graduates,in order to construct a genre-based instruction model in EAW teaching.This model consists of four steps:"building the context-modeling and deconstructing the text-linking related texts-independent construction".The collected data include students'' research articles,students'' analysis on their own disciplinary articles,and questionnaires in order to examine the effectiveness of genre-based instruction in EAW classroom.Results show that with improved genre awareness and knowledge,students are able to analyze English research articles according to genre,and to apply to writing their research articles.The present study shows that this teaching model can develop students'' EAW competence,thus has pedagogical implications in EAW instruction for science-major graduates.
