A New Project-based Learning Concept in English Writing

Abstract

At present, more international talents are needed. English writing ability is an essential quality for such talents. However, by far the teaching of English writing is faced with some problems, that is, students lack interest and learn passively, teachers’ teaching methods are not diversified enough, and there are insufficient interactions between teachers and students in the classroom. How to improve the effectiveness of the teaching of English writing has become a top priority in the current teaching reform of English writing. By taking advantage of Internet information technology, this study establishes an online teaching mode for English writing. In view of the characteristics of the teaching of English writing, based on the classroom design concept of ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation). In the meantime, by integrating the project-based learning mode, we assign writing project questions and incorporate such steps as information collection, knowledge acquisition, solution discussion, peer collaboration, hands-on practice, etc. On the other hand, the neural network algorithm is also used to classify texts of electronic lecture notes. It is found through teaching practice, that the project-based learning based on the concept of ADDIE is an effective teaching way, which can significantly improve the effect of classroom teaching and enhance students’ learning initiative.
