High School Writing Teaching Strategies

As the last section in middle school composition teaching, teaching writing in senior high school is far more difficult and complicated than that in junior high school. It requires students' more advanced ability of expression and comprehension. So teaching writing in senior high school should focus on training and improving students' comprehensive writing skills and abilities.However, when asked "What's the subject you don't like?" quite a lot of senior high students answer "Chinese", and if "What are you least good at when learning Chinese?" the answer should probably be "writing" That is, to be afraid or nervous has become student common sense even without looking at the topics or before their writing. Indeed, in the data we can collect about composition teaching, almost every researcher considers the writing level of senior high students poor in our country presently. So the reform of composition teaching becomes an urgent necessity in order to change its low efficiency and present shortcomings.As to senior high students, their writing topics, assignments and requirements have changed a lot. For instances, comment takes a more, important role in writing, and meanwhile, narration and exposition become much more complicated. In writing, students are required to show more about their own opinions. So it is with their ability of abstract imaginations and logical thinking. Therefore, when facing so unfamiliar and complicated writing assignments, students first beginning their senior high school study will find it difficult to fill the needs of thinking and expression ability it is certain that there must be many difficulties when they write their compositions. What is even worse, we can find no way to be optimistic, because now as a weaker section in teaching Chinese, there are many problems needing solving in teaching writing.At the beginning of the research on this project, the questionnaire and many dialogues with students and teachers show that there are at least several problems we can't ignore. For example, in the course of teaching, teachers show no respect to students principle part in learning and as a result, students shows lack of interest in writing. Composition teaching is influenced by the idea that studying is for passing examination, so falsehood flood in students' composition. Reading and writing separate apart, so it is difficult for them to use the knowledge and skills they have learned writing in class. When they write compositions. The teaching methods of writing are monotonous, ort of date, and lack of improvement. Teachers stick to old methodology. Students' compositions show little individuality or creativity. To solve all these problems, we should study and draw lessons from the former researching achievements and refer to the section in the teaching out line on the requirement of students writing skills in senior high school. Based on all these, this essay focuses on finding and offering some countermeasures and methods to solve the problems mentioned above. For example, how to match writing exercises with student real life, how to combine reading with writing, how to improve and enrich methods of writing teaching, how to develop students' individuality and creativity during the teaching, and so on.As a matter of fact, both tactics and methods are external forms, and aids in teaching. And they will never take their roles unless teachers change their ideas first. That is, only when teachers respect the dominate position of students in the course of teaching, and stir up and keep students interested in writing, can different tactics and methods have great help to students, and is it possible for students to improve their writing efficiency.
