The benefits of English composition education

It is not difficult to see from these aspects that the direction of English teaching reform is to cultivate students' comprehensive language ability and pay attention to the cultivation of quality education. Due to the actual needs of the college entrance examination, both teachers and students generally only reach the third level, which shows that students' practical application ability is poor, while simple topics like written expression make students make many mistakes.

Why is this? Because many times, we only pay attention to the surface analysis of language-grammatical analysis, while ignoring the pragmatic analysis of the environment, place and object of language use. The following aspects of grammatical analysis are difficult to do, which we pay attention to in order to conform to the direction of reform and the purpose of language learning in teaching.

Relevant requirements of senior high school English curriculum standards

1, cultivate the ability to think and express in English; Create necessary conditions for students' further study and development.

2. High school English courses pay attention to students' emotions, so that students can improve their ability of independent thinking and judgment and develop their ability of communication and cooperation with others in the process of English learning.

3. According to the characteristics of high school students' cognitive ability development and the requirements of academic development, senior high school English courses should emphasize improving students' ability to obtain information, process information, analyze problems and solve problems in English on the basis of further developing students' comprehensive language application ability, with special emphasis on improving students' ability to think and express in English.

4. The specific requirements of the new curriculum standard for writing teaching are: to stimulate inspiration and interest before writing. Clear purpose and target audience; Discuss topics, search materials and write an outline; Writing activities include writing the first draft, planning the structure of the article, filling in the blanks, looking at pictures and writing sentences; After writing, the activities include self-revision, mutual revision, face-to-face criticism by individuals and groups, checking language, grammar, logic, vocabulary, polishing, making blackboard newspapers, wall newspapers and so on. There are also specific standards for the evaluation of writing. (See attached table)

To sum up, we can see that the new curriculum standard puts English writing in a very important position to request and deal with. This is quite different from some concepts and practices in our daily teaching.

Scientific writing teaching will have the following benefits:

1 helps to improve students' autonomous learning ability. Through mutual evaluation, students' mentality has changed. In order to ensure the authority of their own marking, students must consult relevant materials, which virtually improves their self-study ability and research spirit.

2. It is beneficial to improve students' error correction ability. Although there is a gap between students, the overall level is quite the same. By correcting others' mistakes, you can warn yourself about your future writing and application.

3. It can improve reading comprehension. By correcting the composition within the specified time, students' reading speed and attention can be trained, and their ability to capture effective information can be improved, thus improving their reading comprehension.
