摘要(Abstract):
近几年来,以学生为中心的写作互评在英语写作教学中运用很广泛。越来越多的学者也对写作互评的优势,怎样进行写作互评做了大量的研究和探讨。然而,在我们特定的教学环境下,写作互评是否是一种有效的方法,我们的学生怎样看待它?本文就这个问题进行了研究。笔者通过课堂观察、采访和问卷3种方式调查了英语专业3年级22位学生对写作互评的看法。结果表明,大部分的学生对写作互评持消极态度,写作互评在写作过程中并未显出它的优势。这个发现和众多的研究结果不相符,也给了我们一个有益的启示———对学生写作互评进行有目的的训练是以学生为中心的课堂写作教学必不可少的。
In recent years student-centred peer response has become such a widely used teaching method in English writing instruction that numerous articles have been produced to discuss the advantages and strategies of this approach. But is this method effective in our teaching context? What do our students think of it? This study investigated perceptions of helpfulness of peer response among 22 advanced English major students. Data collected over one semester through observations, interviews and questionnaires revealed that participants have very negative reactions to peer response, which challenges some beliefs about the affective and pedagogical advantages of peer response. The author's findings further suggest that training students to do peer response is essential in English writing instruction.
