Abstract

Serving as the main ladder for reinforcing students’ comprehensive language ability, writing plays a significant role in English teaching. However, judging from the current teaching situation, students have impaired interest in writing, and their writing level needs to be improved because of "teacher-centered" classroom pedagogies and the single writing method. Teachers often ignore the importance of writing teaching, separate writing from reading, and lack process guidance and evaluation. Therefore, teachers should guide students to promote the ability of "reading for writing" to improve the effectiveness of classroom teaching. This paper tries to integrate the "5E" teaching model into text A in Unit 1 text of New Oriental Collge English (the 3rd edition) which is titled "Never, ever give up". The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effectiveness of the "5E" teaching model, promote students' writing ability, implement the "teaching-learning-assessment " integration strategy, and develop students' core competencies.
