An Exploration of English Writing Teaching Design in Senior High School Based on the Activity-based Learning Approach

According to the New English Curriculum Standard for Senior High School, the teaching concept based on the English activity-based learning approach is ad-vocated, which aims at improving students’ English subject core competences. And writing teaching is an important way to culti-vate students’ core compe-tences of English. However, due to the lack of deep understanding of the curric-ulum objectives and teaching concept of learning activity, there may be some problems in writing teaching such as the lack of students’ autonomous and co-operative learning, the lack of hierarchy and logic in activity design, and the lack of practice and innovation activities. Based on the English activity-based learning approach, this study explores senior high school English writing teach-ing strategies based on the construction of perceiving and understanding, ap-plying and practicing activities, transferring and creating activities, with a view to promote the im-provement of students’ comprehensive language ability, cul-tural awareness, quality of thinking and learning ability in writing teaching.
