Abstract

There are two major problems in the evaluation of the teaching quality of English writing: the weak logic of the evaluation system and the low reliability of the evaluation model. To solve the problems, this paper put forward an evaluation method for the teaching quality of English writing based on the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Firstly, the authors reviewed the current evaluation methods for the teaching quality of English writing. Next, hierarchical evaluation systems were established for the teaching quality of English writing from the perspectives of teachers and students, respectively. After that, the AHP method and the grey theory were introduced to set up an evaluation model for the teaching quality of English writing. Finally, several strategies were presented to improve the teaching quality of English writing. The proposed evaluation systems and model enriched the theories on teaching quality evaluation of English writing, and promoted the teaching quality of English writing.

Highlights

  • As an international language, English plays a very important role in people's international cooperation and exchanges

  • The objective principle means that the selection of the evaluation indicators for the teaching quality analysis of English writing should be based on the objective facts and actual conditions of the English writing teaching process; vague, general and inaccurate evaluation indicators should be avoided, especially subjective or impractical indicators should not be chosen, so as to ensure the objectivity, authenticity and reliability of the evaluation results

  • The hierarchical evaluation system based on the perspective of students was constructed for the student group, this system mainly focuses on how students learn English writing in the class and the learning effect of the English writing, it evaluates and analyzes the teaching quality of English writing from the perspective of the “learning” of students

Summary

Introduction

English plays a very important role in people's international cooperation and exchanges. Published English teaching research results include main teaching links such as listening, writing, speaking, reading and translating, they have good reference significance for instructing the teaching of English writing from the perspective of the integration and integrity of English teaching, and they have a positive and promotive role in improving the teaching quality of English writing, for instance, Kim-Daniel Vattøy and others discussed students' feedback in English teaching [8]. There’re still rooms for further research on the teaching quality analysis of English writing To this end, based on existing research results, this paper combined AHP method [14, 15] with grey theory [16, 17] to study methods for the teaching quality analysis of English writing. The second part analyzes the methods of teaching quality analysis of English writing involved in the construction process of the proposed method in this paper.
