摘　　要： 本文旨在探寻提高大学英语写作教学水平的新方法,以提高非英语专业学生的英语写作水平并激发学生的写作兴趣。作者对将图式理论应用于大学英语写作教学进行了实证性研究,并提出了三个研究问题,分别是 /(1/)图式理论在大学英语写作教学中的可行性,即图式理论是否对学生的写作能力有一定的积极影响; /(2/)从不同方面探索这种影响的程度,即讨论通过采用图式理论指导下的教学方法,学生的哪些图式知识容易得到较为显著的提高; /(3/)探寻能够帮助学生建立和激活恰当图式的方法,即研究将图式理论应用于英语写作教学的具体方法—怎样帮助学生在写作过程中积累、建立和激活恰当的图式。 在研究中,作者使用了定性和定量的分析方法。首先,作者采用问卷的形式,对非英语专业的100名大学生进行了调查,调查的目的为了解非英语专业学生的英语写作现状及问题,以便在实验中设计恰当的教学方法,以达到更好的实验效果。在获得实验数据后,作者使用SPSS数据统计分析软件对这些数据进行了处理,处理方法包括均值比较和独立样本T检验。在实验结束后,作者对部分学生进行了访问。 通过对所获得的数据进行处理和分析,以及对采访内容进行总结,作者最后得出以下发现: /(1/)图式理论对与提高学生写作水平有较为明显的积极作用; /(2/)对于一般水平的学生来说,提高对形式图式的把握相对比较容易。而图式导向的教学方法在提高内容图式和词汇图式方面的作用不是很明显。要在词汇图式方面有所提高,学生必须有较强的语言操纵能力。 /(3/)实验证明,要建立新图式和激活已有图式,恰当的选择阅读材料是一种较为有效的方法。而小组讨论或交流在激活图式方面的效果更明显。 Based on the previous studies, the research in the present thesis attempts to investigate the effectiveness of schema-oriented writing teaching approach aiming at improving the students’writing ability and arousing their interests in writing. The author conducted an empirical study on the application of schema theory in college English writing teaching, and raises three research questions, namely, /(1/) whether schema theory exerts influence on the development of students’writing ability; /(2/) the degree of this influence from different perspectives; /(3/) the possible methods of adopting schema theory in college English writing teaching—ways to help students accumulate, construct and activate their schemata. During the study, both qualitative and quantitative methods are adopted. A questionnaire which collects information about the current situation of English writing learning and teaching in college was applied. The purpose of this questionnaire is to arrange proper teaching methods in the experiment in order to achieve better and more significant effects. After acquiring the data, the author analyzes them through SPSS, including means comparison and independent-sample’s t test. Through analyzing the data obtained from the experiment and summarizing the interview results, the author obtains some significant findings: /(1/) Schema plays a vital role in the improvement of the students’writing ability; /(2/) For average students, the improvement of formal schema through this teaching approach is comparatively easy. The effect of schema theory on the development of content is relatively less significant. To improve the vocabulary use, the students have to be more competent in English language manipulating. Also longer time is needed to organize the newly gained words into proper structure in order to better employ them in the composition. /(3/) In constructing new schema, reading is proved to be more helpful. Group discussion or communication is relatively more effective in activating students’existing schemata, but the difference of the effects of these two methods from these two perspectives is not so obvious.
