Writing ability belongs to written communication ability .writing can give a voice to shy students as writing can serve as medium through which less confident students can communicate with their teachers and others . Moreover , writing can be less threatening for anxious students as it gives them time to think about their meaning and purpose written language is a form of language communication as same as spoken language . Writing is an important communication ability to use written language . Secondly, cultivating writing ability is one of the English teaching purposes in junior middle school . It is a kind of language skill as the same as listening ,speaking and reading . The four basic skills are complementary to each other . If one of them is weak , the other three skills will be affected . Developing the writing ability can combine with some activities of listening , speaking and reading . And if the writing ability is improved the other basic skills have improved enormously . Thirdly , practicing writing makes students master language knowledge exactly . Writing can raise awareness of how language work . Through , writing , students will become familiar with the linguistic and social conventions of writing in English . In the process of learning English , whether you practice writing , the results are different obviously . For example through writing to recite new words . Students can remember 91 percent , on the contrary , dont use this method , students only remember 58 percent . Fourthly, writing is an importance way to check teaching effect . It may be used as a testing device , not necessary to the students , but rather to provide feedback on what the students have learned . So , teachers can know the problems and weak links of students in the process of English learning exactly . So far , written examination is a main way to check English learning . Writing is very important way of communication in our daily life . The ability to write in English is recognized in society and in the junior middle school as an important objective of foreign language teaching and learning . The need for writing in modern society in much more extensive than what we imagine . It true that , in everyday life , writing can help us do many things such as recording the history of human civilization and social development and communicating with others . With the fast development of Chinas economy and overall national strength , more and more contact with the outside work makes writing skills more necessary than ever before . Modern technology dogs not diminish the function of writing . Furthermore , in many places , writing might be more proper and feasible than oral communication to achieve a desired . More and more people begin to realize that writing is an indispensable tool for them to exchange information . Share experience, the build and strengthen their friendship with foreign friends .

And it is more difficult to write whole passage . Even students dont know to write letters , notes and notices . In order to cultivate the practical writing ability . Weshould attach great importance to this phenomenon . . Key words : improve , writing , practice , train . remember , express . How to improve the students English writing ? As we all know , the purpose of junior middle school English teaching is to improve the students English listening , speaking , reading and writing . However , most of the students think that writing composition English is very difficult . They can hardly express themselves with their own words . Some of them write compositions in English , just according to the Chinese meaning world by world . As an English teacher , it is very necessary to give guidance on students to practice writing English .the more , the better . How to improve the junior middle school students English writing ? In my opinion, to improve writing ability , it is very important to improve other abilities . It is meaningful for the students to train the four abilities . So we should penetrate writing in the whole teaching process combining it with reading , listening , speaking and so on . We learn English in order to express our ideas appropriately with it . In general , it is not satisfying to learn writing and develop writing ability . There are problems in the writing ability of the students . As a junior middle school English teacher , we should penetrate writing in the whole teaching process combining it with the other abilities . According to my a few years English teaching , I think four ways to improve the writing ability. Methods of improving students writing abilities A , Train students to remember the words and vocabulary . As is know to us all , an article is make up of many words , phrases and vocabulary . The words are to the article what the bricks are to the building . People all say “ One cannot make bricks without straw .” If you dont know to write eight words in a ten-word sentence, you will not express your idea . So words and vocabulary are very important for students writing ,they are very important and basic for the students . And we all know , any language has the inherent links , English is no exception , nothing more than this link wordphrasesentence. Many students are unable to write , one of the causes is poor vocabulary or phrases , and English expression are really different . So , it really is beyond its capability of students to write sentences . To overcome this difficulty , on the one hand ,teachers are to strengthen the supervision of the students remember the words , on the other hand pay attention to teaching in “ wordsentence ” transition help students remember the words , understanding phrases , and learning the write sentences . for example , when teach the word “ country ” ,we can show a map of China to the students to arouse their interest in learning the “ word phrase ” ,and write the sentences on the blackboard . country - the largest country one of the largest countries in the world China is one of the largest countries in the world . I think that the junior middle school students are come from different primary school , most of them didnt know how to remember the words and the vocabulary . At the same time , the middle school teaching material is more difficult than before .It has larger words and vocabulary . In Reading of each unit , there are a few main words and vocabulary , I teach them on the blackboard and then let the students repeat and pay attention to the pronunciation . we should use the words to make the sentences to show the students how to use them . If the Students can not write an article without rich words and vocabulary . Teachers must adopt some effective methods to help students master enough words and vocabulary form textbook or other materials . At the beginning of the school year , teachers must teach students how to remember the words and vocabulary .Remembering according to phonetics , syllables or affixes is more effective for students .Also , teacher should teach students different meaning of each word as well as usages of each meaning and encourage students to remember words and phrase in sentences or texts . So that students can use the words and phrases to write correctly . It is necessary for teachers to dictate important words and phrases to students . Because students will remember them better if ask students to make simple sentences or conver sentences with the words and phrases. In this method students not only practice vocabulary and writing sentences but also learn to use a variety of sentences to express the same meaning .B , train students to read aloud and recite .According to the requirement of English syllabus , listening , speaking , reading and writing is the junior middle school English teaching aim . English writing is one of the comprehensive ability trainings . which is also the difficult one . 经The Chinese saying is “Shi San Bai tang poems , you can cram a poem will sing . ” Professor Ge Chuangui says “ You ought to read very carefully , not only very carefully , but also aloud and that again and again till you know the passage by hear and write it as if it were your own .” when he referred to the methods to solve students problems in writing in his work The writing of English , His words clearly illustrate that reading aloud and reciting plays important roles in the process of improving students writing . Teachers can ask students to read and recite good sentences , proverbs and articles in ordinary times . Practice makes perfect . After students master a large number of materials , they can write articles fluently . In the courser of reading aloud and reciting , students have an instinctive feel for the language , which can make students write satisfying articles . Li Yangs crazy English is the best example . I believe that every English teacher knows Mr Li Yang .His crazy English is very famous for us . one of the best methods is read English aloud . His methods of teaching English are simple but very practical . Such as helping students understand the short compositions before they recite learning the grammars ,appropriately ect . Which I believe are based on his accurate understanding of the situation of English teaching and learning in China .The impression he left on us was that he is very enthusiastic , patriotic and hard-working man who is dediate to helping Chinese learn English well . As an English teacher , I think what we should learn from teacher Li Yang that we should also be more practical and try to motivate our students to practice more learning activities in English learning . Pushing them to learn English in a more positive and optimistic way . Only in this way can we achieve more in our English teaching . C , train students to listen the materials . Choose some easy and suitable listening materials for students . Play the tape in class , ask the students to listen to it and repeat . After class , have a diction in class and check to give a mark . Teachers should keep doing this once a week or twice a week to improve the ability of writing . In order to improve the ability of listening and help the students get more information to lay solid foundation in English . We choose New Concept English as listening materials , this course attempts to all four skills : understanding , speaking , reading and writing . It is used to train the students systematically to write English . Having teaching the new words , I assign one lesson on every Friday . The students are required to have diction , then collect to give comments . After a long time training , most of the students can write 200-word article in 30 minutes . As a result , the students not only improve their listening ability but also improve their expression .D . Train students to practice writing more .As we say“Practice makes perfect.”The teachers must require the students to practice writing step by step. (1) Take a good command of the sentence types .As we all know, in terms of the linear order of constituents of sentences, English has seven basic sentence types. As long as we choose appropriate sentence types, we can write complete and correct sentences. (2)Keep writing diary in English .“Writing is training thinking ” Keeping writing diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve studentsEnglish writing ability. It can help students to cultivate the habit of thinking in English. So , we ought to encourage students to write diary every day , and they can write something about their school , their families , their friends , they can also choose the interesting things from books or newspapers or something happened to them before . If they find they dont have anything to write , they can copy a good article . Collect the diaries to check carefully and give a remark on a piece of writing . Praise the students who write a good diary . (3) Finish writing in limited time .In English exam, the students have to finish a composition in limited time, so its necessary to train the students to finish writing in limited time. In each unit , there is a main task requiring the students to write a composition about the unit . Guide the students to finish the composition in a class . Firstly , review the main words , sentences patterns , grammar , and the important content which the students have learning in the unit. Secondly tell the students how to write . Then walk around the class provide help to the students , such as , correct spelling and grammatical mistakes and provide improvements in the use of words and structures . After they finish the first draft , ask them to check and correct in pairs , Thirdly , invite several students to read out their compositions . Praise their values more to encourage the students to stimulate their interest in writing . When practice English writing, the teacher can require the students stopping writing when the time is up whether they finish or not. Repeat this training can improve the students writing speed. . Conclusion : Writing plays a more and more important role in communication . It is a complicated process . Teachers and students pay more and more attention to it . While it is still a headache in junior middle school . the current situation of writing teaching and students poor writing set think about this issue without choice .
