形成性评估论文：形成性评估在大学英语写作教学中的实证研究 【中文摘要】写作是一种典型的语言输出活动,也是人们掌握语言知识,交流信息的重要渠道。《大学英语课程教学要求》对非英语专业大学生的英语写作能力提出了明确的要求。然而在现实中,大多数学生的水平仍处于较低的层次很难达到既定的要求。针对这一问题,语言学家进行了大量研究,归纳了写作中的常见错误,提出了很多宝贵的写作策略。然而,在这些研究中,人们较多关注的是学习者能否写出成功的作品,所采用的方法多为成品法或题材法。教学手段主要是学生写作练习,教师评判并给出反馈的形式。但是目前大学英语课堂普遍存在班级容量较大,教师教学任务繁重等现象。这样教师对学生作文评判的反馈没有足够的时效性,学生收获欠佳,教学过程中明显存在耗时低效的问题。针对这种现状,本文试图从形成性评估的角度,以建构主义理论为指导,建立一种大学英语写作教学的新模式。在教学过程中新模式将倡导以教师为主导,学生为主体,充分发挥师生的不同作用。为了考察这一教学模式是否能够提高学生的写作能力,本研究对河北农业大学非英语专业大二两个班进行了实验。实验班采用以学生为中心的新模式,而对照班沿袭常规写作教学模式。同时,实验班内分为高分组和低分组,通过横向及纵向的比较,借助SPSS软件对实验前后调查问卷及写作成绩进行定量分析。写作测试结果显示形成性评估能有效地提高非英语专业学生写作能力,尤其是对低分组同学,效果更为明显。问卷调查结果进一步证明实验班学生对写作的兴趣有所提高,自主学习能力明显增强。同时,教师对学生的写作情况有了更全面的了解,反思性教学得到了充分体现。 【英文摘要】Writing, as a typical language output activity, is a major channel for people to command linguistic knowledge and communicate. In the College English Curriculum Requirements (2004), explicit writing requirements are set for non-English majors. However, there is a big gap between the requirements and students’actual writing ability. In order to solve this problem, a number of common errors committed by students have been summed up and a lot of valuable writing skills have been presented by many linguists. Nevertheless, more attention has been paid to the final products learners write in those researches and the major way adopted is either a product approach or a genre one. The teaching method is employed through students writing practice and then teachers’assessment and feedback. But, presently, it’s a general phenomenon that there is a larger number of students in college English class and teachers’workload is strenuous correspondently. Therefore, teachers might not offer timely feedback for each paper to meet students’expectation. Though it’s time-consuming, the teaching process is not efficient enough. In light of this, this thesis aims to explore a new teaching model of college English writing from the perspective of formative assessment, under the instruction of constructivism. The
