英语写作教学与研究的社会文化视角

摘要

English writing＇teaching and research has wimessed two paradigm shifts to date, namely, the shift from product approachto process approach and that from process approach to genre approach. The purpose of genre approach is to enhance writing efficacy. Its theoretical underpinning lies in the sociocultural theories of writing, among which contrastive rhetoric, social constmctionism and practice of community, and new literacy studies are the most essential.; The paper will elaborate on these theories and give some suggestions to writing instruction in China in the sociocultural framework%迄今为止，英语写作教学与研究经历了两次范式转换，即从成品教学法向过程教学法、从过程教学法向体裁教学法的转换。体裁教学法的目的是提高写作的教学效能，其动因是写作的社会文化理论，主要包括对比修辞理论、社会建构和实践社区理论、新文化研究等。本文将对这三种理论做一系统梳理，并在此基础上对写作教学提出建议。
