Abstract

This paper reviews three cardinal aspects in the teaching process of the Continuation Task, including the selection of material, instruction in students’ reading and approach in the writing phase. By analyzing influential factors in the three aspects respectively, this paper tries to find out the appropriate and efficient pedagogy, which aimed at providing enlightenment in teaching and facilitating learning proficiency among students. There are primarily several vital factors that deserve measured contemplation: students’ interest and background information, lexical difficulty, syntax, literary genres, proper reading guidance, the mark of keywords, micro-skills training and iterative continuation. This paper analyzes the way that these factors function in the Continuation Task and teaching methods deriving from the previous studies. Through the review and reflection of ingredients in the Continuation task from three aspects, the paper presents precautions in teaching and effective skills to enhance the language acquisition of students. In terms of material selection, interest, level of difficulty and genres should all be incorporated into consideration. Specifically, the difficulty level of passage chosen should be attuned to students’ production ability level and the proportion of several genres of material for practice need to be modulated in accordance with teaching objectives. In reading guidance, the ploys of situational analysis and underscoring keywords are suggested to be employed. For writing practice, micro-skill training and iterative writing can be of efficacy in teaching process.
