Abstract
As a new form of writing test in the college entrance examination, the continuation task has attracted the attention of front-line teachers in recent years. The traditional writing teaching method serving proposition composition is not suitable for the continuation task, because it will separate reading and writing skills, and it is difficult to develop students’ thinking ability and comprehensive language application ability. In order to explore an effective teaching method for the continuation task, this paper introduces the “reading circle” model and transforms it to meet the characteristics of the continuation task. The application of the “reading circle” model can further give full play to students’ subjectivity. Students have a clear division of labor in the whole “reading circle” learning process, and can complete comprehensive continuation tasks through cooperation. This paper first briefly introduces the “reading circle” model, and then puts forward its application principles and specific teaching process, hoping to have a reference for front-line teachers.
