前言
北京大学出版社2008年最新引进了一套国外畅销的《英语写作原版影印系列丛书》,并邀请我为这套丛书写序,谈谈我对英语写作教学与研究的一些认识。我仔细翻阅后,觉得这套书特色十分鲜明,其中有几本再版达十次以上,经久不衰,非常乐意在此推荐给我国的广大读者。 在经济全球化和网络高度发达的今天,学好英语已变得十分重要,英语口头与书面语的表达能力已逐渐成为当今的核心竞争力之一,从第二语言学习的社会文化观看,能否流利地运用外语进行口头或书面交流已直接关系到学生的就业和未来发展。中国的英语写作教学有许多问题需要深入探讨,引进国外优秀的英语写作教学与研究成果,对于更新我国的英语写作教学观念和方法,改革当前的英语写作教学具有重要意义。 一、国内外二语写作研究概览 第二语言写作的教学与研究在国际上一直受到重视,国外的写作教学研究十分活跃,以美国为例,美国普度(PuRDuE)大学每年定期召开二语写作学术研讨会,2008年6月6-7日召开的第7届写作年会的主题是:外语写作教学:原理与实践。二语写作拥有自己的研究队伍、研究机构、学术期刊。概括起来,国际二语写作研究集中在四个领域:(1)写作过程研究,重点关注认知操作模型、写作构思策略、学习者的个体差异以及写作过程的阶段性变化;(2)写作结果研究,采用文本分析、错误分析、对比分析、对比修辞分析、语料分析等方法;(3)写作社会文化因素研究,影响写作的社会结构、语域知识、动机和需求等因素;(4)写作教学研究,如教学过程、学习策略、语言水平发展、课堂教学环节、写作测试、网络写作课件开发等。国际二语写作研究近期关注四个热点:(1)批评对比修辞学,(2)母语写作迁移,(3)写作教师教育,(4)计算机辅助写作与研究。
