儿童文学在高中英语读后续写教学中的开发利用——以《快乐王子》为例

Developing and Applying Children’s Literature in Senior High School English Continuation Writing Teaching—A Case Study of The Happy Prince

摘要: 读后续写要求学生在理解原文的基础上，完成语言表达、情节延展与主题衔接，对学生的阅读理解能力和故事写作能力都提出了较高要求。英语儿童文学兼具文学性与叙事性，它的语言表达、叙事组织和主题呈现，能够为读后续写教学提供丰富优质的资源。本文以奥斯卡·王尔德的《快乐王子》为例，首先从叙事、语言和主题三个层面，分析英语儿童文学的文本特征及其适配读后续写的教学价值，继而结合具体文本，探究其中情节链、文学语言和主题表达方式的迁移应用价值。在此基础上，本文提出分类积累典型表达、借鉴故事组织方法以及利用情节转折与文本留白开展续写训练等教学建议，以期为高中英语读后续写教学中儿童文学资源的开发与利用提供参考。

Abstract: Continuation writing requires students to produce appropriate language, extend the plot, and maintain thematic coherence on the basis of a sound understanding of the source text, thus placing relatively high demands on both reading comprehension and narrative writing ability. English children’s literature combines literary and narrative qualities, and its language use, narrative organization, and thematic presentation can provide rich and high-quality teaching resources for continuation writing. Taking Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Prince as a case study, this paper first examines the textual features of English children’s literature and their value for continuation writing from the perspectives of narrative, language, and theme. It then analyzes, in conjunction with the specific text, the transfer value of plot chains, literary language, and modes of thematic expression. On this basis, the paper proposes several teaching suggestions, categorizing and accumulating representative expressions, drawing on methods of story organization, and using turning points and narrative gaps to design continuation-writing activities. The study aims to provide a reference for the development and use of children’s literature resources in senior high school English continuation-writing instruction.
