ABSTRACT

Analysis of Avoidance in English Major Students’ Writing

     It is universally acknowledged that English writing is one of the most effective methods to test the learners’ learning outcomes. Although a large number of factors exert negative influence on university students’ writing level, avoidance plays the most blaming part in the process of writing. 

After analyzing two kinds of avoidance in English writing, namely linguistic avoidance and non-linguistic or cultural avoidance, the thesis explores the causes of avoidance and its relationship with writers’ language proficiency. The results show that avoidance in English writing results from diverse reasons, which are mainly the lack of language knowledge, wrong eva luation criterion and difference in culture and thinking pattern. Meanwhile, the research proves the negative correlation between the English proficiency level and the use of avoidance. Finally, corresponding solutions are proposed to raise the consciousness of “avoidance” among English teachers and students, and to improve students’ learning efficiency.

Key words: avoidance; English writing; English proficiency level

本文研究了英语专业学生作文中存在的语言层面和非语言层面即文化层面的回避现象，探究了该现象的具体表现和成因，以及英语水平和回避现象之间的关系。结果表明，回避现象的成因众多，主要是学习者语言知识的缺乏，错误的评价标准和不同文化思维的差异性。同时，研究结果还证实了回避现象和英语水平之间呈负相关关系。最后，本文针对回避现象的消极影响提出相应的解决方案来提高教师和学习者关于回避现象的意识，提高英语教学和学习的效率，促进英语学习者的语言习得。
