Content and Formal Schemata Teaching in ESL Writing in China
English writing is an interactive process between schematic knowledge and collected materials,and the inadequacy of schematic knowledge or failure to activate it may result in a Chinese way of writing.Much research has been done on content and formal schemata in reading with students of English as a Second Language(ESL),but the research into content and formal schemata in ESL writing is a more recent area of study.This essay attempts to introduce schema theory and tries to explain it with some examples and draw insights from content and formal schemata in the teaching of writing,which emphasize the interrelationship among level of structure,rhetorical form,context,and cross-culture knowledge.In addition,a notion of building content and formal schemata with ESL student writers,and the pedagogical implications and feasibility are discussed in this essay.
