针对当今初中英语写作教学中的一些误区，在充分认识英语写作的重要性后，初中英语写作教学工作该如何开展呢？结合一些教学实际，来探讨一下初中英语写作教学的方法。

英语写作教学 由简到繁 扩写

英语写作在教学上有两个方面的含义。其一是书写或书法，包含字母、单词、句子、标点符号、国际音标的正确写法。其二是写作，即笔头表达。如作文、写课文概要、写信、写日记等。本文所指写作只是着重讲述第二方面的内容，即笔头表达。

初中英语写作在当今许多省市的中考中占有相当重的比重，一般都是以书面表达的形式出现，或命题作文，或看图表写话，或给材料作文。许多学生原本基础知识就不是很牢靠，一见作文就头疼，从而直接导致在中考中失分严重。书面表达俨然已经成为现行中考英语科考试拉开差距的一道题。

针对当今初中英语写作教学中的一些误区，在充分认识英语写作的重要性后，初中英语写作教学工作该如何开展呢？下面就结合我的一些教学实际，来探讨一下初中英语写作教学的方法。

一、由词汇、句型扩展成文

对七年级学生或是英语初学者来说，应该从遣词造句开始。例如，

第一步，给出单词book、pen，让学生给他们加不定冠词a或an，则得到a book、a pen.

第二步，用句型This is…和That is…套用，写出This is a book和That is a pen两句话。

第三步，填充材料或替换。将My sister’s或My brother’s替换a,写出This is my sister’s book和That is my brother’s book两句话。

第四步，运用句型…is here和…is there写出My brother is here和My sister is there.

第五步，运用句型…is eleven和…is twelve写出My brother is eleven. My sister is twelve.

第六步，填充材料 My sister，my brother are students.They are reading books.They are good students.

第七步，把以上各步骤中所写的句子串连起来，写出以My Sister and My brother为题的一个小短文：This is my brother’s book. That is my sister’s pen. My brother is here. My sister is there. My sister and my brother are students. They are reading books. They are good students.

二、由简到繁，多级变化演进成文

第一级，改写。给学生(初学者)一篇小故事、小记叙文等(或用现行教材现成的课文)，让他们加以改写。例如：

My name is Helen Green. This is a photo of my family. There are six people in my family, They are my husband Jeff, his father and mother, my son Jim, my daughter Kate and I.《初中英语第一册(上)》，可以让学生改写为：

My name is Jeff Green.This is a photo of my family.There are five people in my family.They are my wife Helen，my father and mother，and my daughe Kate.

第二级，扩写。让学生把一篇给出的文章从内容和结构上加以扩展。

Nora is an old woman. She has a big family.There are ten people in her family. Her husband is Da.They have three children…可以让学生扩写成：

Noran is an old American wowan. She is sixty.She has a big family in America.There are ten people in family.They are all very happy.Her has band is Dan.He is an old man.They have three children.Their children love them very much.

第三级，给提纲，让学生写作文。如针对“My English Teacher作文题，给出下列提纲：

(1)My English teacher is an Enligh man.

(2)He works hard.

(3)He is friendly to us.

(4)He often helps us with our English.

(5)All of my class love him.

让学生根据提纲 My English Teacher为题写作，例如，有学生写得如下作文：

My English Theacher

My English teacher is an English man.His name is Mike. He is a good teacher.Because he often works hard.Sometimes he keeps on working till 11:00 p.m.He's very friendly to us.In the class he is a teacher.After the class he is our good friend.He usually helps us with our English.He often asks us to practice speaking English with him and tells some interesting stories in English.So we all love him and we know he loves us as well.

以上四级写作难度的演进，只是一个大概的轮廓。但它已经表明写作并不难，掌握英语写作的基本技能。

无论是从中考、高考的命题方向来看，也还是从学生的长远发展而言，英语写作都是极其重要的。初中英语写作教学可谓是任重而道远，只要我们英语教师坚持“从早抓起，由简到繁”这一原则，就一定能从整体上提高英语写作的教学水平，为我国的教育教学改革贡献自己的力量。
