Summary: Writing is a boring and ineffective discipline, whom often prohibitive. How to change the status quo is indeed an abstruse science. In this paper, schools, teachers, teaching three of its causes, and to out a number of recommendations.

Keywords:: quality of teachers teaching vocational Writing
Practical people in their daily work, study and life in dealing with the use of a private transaction with a fixed or preferred format style. Its use is very extensive, very practical. Thus, in modern life, practical writing, whether it is right Jiguan secretarial staff, or ordinary citizens, are of great practical significance. while the need for a comprehensive increase in personal comprehensive quality of the vocational college students, Practical Writing is an essential basic skills. As the Ye Shengtao said, "College graduates may not be able to write fiction poetry, but must be able to write practical work and study in the article, and write both fluent and non-solid is not."
But in the real world, although the Vocational teaching Writing Course content included in the plan, but most of the vocational colleges in the teaching of practical writing instruction not seem to value. This makes teaching in practical writing may have can not be taught from time to teach the marginalized, and even in some vocational colleges into their teaching practical writing teaching the blind spot.


1 Writing course set up is not ideal because

1.1 The over-emphasis on professional skills training, capacity-building based on inadequate attention
Practical Writing very practical. However, practical writing instruction does not belong to specialized course, vocational training institutions Zeyi application-oriented talents, emphasizing the practical skills of students, Writing as a basic course, though with strong practicality, it is difficult to get attention. Some institutions will set their own arrangements for the teachers of the "test" class, not the school arranged a "test" class, which virtually to teachers and students the impression : Writing even as basic courses, it is only in a subordinate or additional position, resulting in both teaching the courses are not paid enough attention, this will make vocational college students the basic ability to be weakened.

1.2 The lack of consistent vocational teaching materials, teaching materials from the students present the actual practical writing
Practical for vocational Education, students should first consider the basic conditions, although most of our students are high school graduates, but college entrance examination scores are not high, but most of the vocational high school science students and, therefore, the language, ability to understand things also inadequate. However, we present practical writing materials in the text about the specific kinds of time, was too theoretical. For example: In the document about the "notice" a time, a lot of ink is to inform the characteristics described, types, and the specific need for students writing format, but not much involved, only a handful of a few strokes. In particular, notice in writing error-prone in the specific knowledge point is the lack of students in the learning of knowledge, is basically not involved. would have Students feel they are far away from the document, read a textbook and can not read, the more increased their weariness.

In addition, the present teaching materials provided by Pham Van is too small, even if there are materials, is also editor directly extracted from the social to the ready-made materials. Some material is also full of loopholes, and too much difference between real life and students, the students have to read to understand difficulties. editor in a book to be used when considering only the material, but ignored the students ability to understand the knowledge and contacts, there is no screening.

1.3 is not high professionalism of teachers, students interest in learning is not thick
In the actual teaching, as in practical writing teachers are often teaching Chinese language and literature graduate, and itself has not received special Education in practical writing and more practical writing lack of actual combat experience, some practical writing teaching boring and weak, in the teaching of this part is often flashed by, like a superficial general, deal with the matter. Because Writing with a specific object, content and form, writing style is relatively fixed, standardized, and so most teachers only scripted , talk about the writing style and attention, the students summarize a few rules, and then provide several essay, students applied mechanically. and students practical writing literature that is not strong, dull, think that some content has been studied in secondary school, and some the content had nothing to do, learning useless, boring, so learn and practice writing is to force yourself in accordance with Pham Van parrot, ����«��ư, just go. In short, practical writing instruction in basic vocational college in a "bad teachers teaching, student learning is not good; teaching is invalid, learning useless "status.

It is these reasons, resulting in Writing in a very great importance to improve the overall quality of students, strengthen the practical ability of students in vocational colleges are not taken seriously, in a very awkward and helpless position. How to change the practical writing instruction in vocational colleges in this situation, is what every teacher in the teaching of practical writing and must think should seriously consider the issue.


2 on the Practical Considerations of Teaching Writing

2.1 from top to bottom understanding of the importance of writing to the application, establish a large language of writing
In recent years, the scale of vocational Education continues to expand, but the quality of the students actually was a downward trend, based on their language knowledge and language ability than ever before. Coupled with the shackles of examination-oriented Education, applied writing in basic Education lack of status, both students unfamiliar and indifferent Writing.

Vocational training has been charged with the market needs to adapt to the task of application-oriented talents, for a long time, in the "for employers," the guiding ideology, teachers will only focus on one to teach the students some knowledge of professional writing skills. But This single train of knowledge can not raise overall quality of students, proved their resilience after the out of school is not ideal. Applied Writing is a comprehensive discipline, to learn practical writing is not so easy, It is not only a style format, but rather involve both the basic knowledge of grammar, but also involves thinking, writing, writing strategies, and other deep-seated problems. practical writing instruction must be combined with basic writing, and establish a large language of writing.

First Writing Vocational courses to be opened, not only created but in the curriculum should be changed, or elective courses are not adequate to examine the attention; followed by the teachers, especially teachers in the teaching of practical writing, that she has first understand the importance of practical writing, and the purpose of this course where the professor; Finally, the above two premises, together with the teacher's guidance and inspiration, so that students will realize the importance of writing applications much easier.

Note that the language of writing large, not to say that when the application of language classes to writing lesson, the language teaching is more focused training in listening, speaking, the "write" to emphasize that "felt the hair ", while the application is the student-oriented writing course for the purpose of stylistic variety of applications, programming, writing methods of training, the emphasis is" because of something written, for use in writing ", highlighting the" Apply. "From this sense, language is the basis for application writing, application writing is an extension of language teaching skills of discipline. Therefore, the application of teachers in teaching writing classes according to the specific circumstances of the students, students receive extensive reading, writing, the ability to appreciate to make up for past lack of basic writing skills. Writing in strengthening the same time, strengthen students basic writing ability.

2.2 Practical prepared in accordance with the characteristics of vocational teaching.

Consider the preparation of learning materials should focus on the user's identity and acceptance. Vocational college textbooks should fully take care of College Students understanding of knowledge and the access to knowledge. It should be compiled as soon as a human organization meet high Practical Vocational School Students of the characteristics of materials.

First, in the new textbooks in the text should be increased for each kind of knowledge of the specific points about writing, and the corresponding reduction in the pure theoretical knowledge about, will go into detail about the specific knowledge points to reduce barriers to student learning together.

Second, in the new textbooks should increase the use of materials, in particular, to increase and student life-related materials. For example: a chapter in the government documents, notifications, notification of two species in the campus culture are often used to introduce appropriate when reduction in selected inter-governmental Liwen, while the corresponding increase in the campus of the examples which informed the species, you can select some of the activities held on campus Zai notice, notification can be used if some students on campus, or recognition of the critical briefing. This can narrow the distance between students and materials. because these things often happen in the surrounding, so students interested in reading it, learning it can not overcome. the teacher talking about the theory, the combination of materials analysis, the strong understanding of knowledge of students. This is to allow students to go even read examples of government documents, have their own things around for reference material, but also much easier to understand.

2.3 The overall quality of training teachers, improving teaching standards and professional ability
Vocational teachers in the teaching of writing applications to participate in work mostly from a gate into another school, on the practical writing some of the specific text types which have never been practical. Teachers lack practical application of writing, the process of making most of the teachers lecture the material basis of written propaganda, the lack of fresh close to the actual teaching material, easily lead into a writing class on the struggling teacher, the students learn the results of boring. And the teaching of writing applications like high other specialized courses in vocational education, requires the organization of teaching writing teachers have both the theoretical knowledge, but also a strong practical writing ability to the actual writing, which writing teachers in most applications is not an easy task.

In order to raise the professional skills and practical teaching ability, the Ministry of Education system in September 2006 made a <"Creating secondary vocational school teachers to the views of the system business practices>>, which provides specialized teachers in secondary vocational schools, nursing teachers must have more than two months every two years, the time line production services to the business or practice. Higher institutions should seize this opportunity, the next sending teachers to stay in business in a few weeks or months, to have a specific work, in practice the process of understanding the content of the work, you need to have the ability to learn industry's technology, and accept the new concept of the industry. This training will be an ideal way to practice the skills of teachers and teaching are of great help.

As teachers themselves should also have the level of awareness of teaching and improve teaching effectiveness.

We must first thoroughly understand the material, and each lesson teaching content, teaching methods, teaching time to make plans. At the same time, but also take full account of the reception of students, interest and other factors, to stimulate the enthusiasm of students. Teaching is the main basis for teacher preparation, take great efforts to read through all the material, familiar with the teaching purpose of each chapter, teaching requirements, clarify the primary and secondary of each chapter to identify key, difficult, need to know what knowledge, understanding of what knowledge, well organized, structured. Another On the one hand, preparing lessons, do not just limited to textbook knowledge. <<Practical Writing "> The book itself has limitations, many do not speak a large number of comprehensive practical style, as in" cover letter "is not covered in this section "resume" content, and in the "Contract" section talk about the economic type of contract, but closely related with the students, "employment agreement", "labor contracts" nothing was said, so teachers related to Expo Writing information on the content of some teaching to supplement, add, enrich teaching knowledge.

Second, properly handle Liwen. Vocational textbooks, have more practical writing paradigm, but many are not standardized, in particular from the article content and student life, the lack of flavor of the times. For example. Since it is apply their knowledge to be close to the students life.

First, from books to find. In the lecture on "summary" of this style, the text in three Liwen, are out of touch with student life and the format is not standardized. The "comprehensive training" in a piece called "<a semester summary>" ( Northwestern University Edition <<Practical Writing ">) is a good learning material. The material is a Party one year after the end of first semester students write a summary, and this format is fairly standard material, but there is expression other issues, close to the student life. So in teaching, I gave the text to highlight this a "problem" of the material, very good.

The second is to find from the extra-curricular. In "advertisement" teaching, the textbooks are given Liwen old ads over the past, the lack of the times, can not rise to the interest of students, so we choose now the hit television advertising, such as "brain Platinum, "" Start Time "," Sprite "and so very unique advertising, so that students feel in a familiar kind, the understanding of" advertisement "copy, where structure and creativity. from the student's reaction, the effect is good.

Finally, the improvement of teaching methods to stimulate student interest in it. On the basis of thorough understanding of materials, but also the appropriate use of certain teaching methods to impart knowledge to students clever.

First, instructional design should be reasonable. instructional design is important to the operational capacity of the modern teacher, is the point of view and methods of using the system, follow the basic rules of the teaching process, the design of teaching content. When it comes to the practical writing process of selection of teaching content , according to the teaching plans, curricula and teaching materials to develop the characteristics of the design, organization of contents, determine teaching strategies, the teaching process and the implementation of the scientific design of teaching, choice of teaching organization and teaching methods, the use of instructional media used for each class teaching, writing on the blackboard, a video for teaching and improve teaching efficiency and quality. but also improve their professional level and teaching ability.

The second is to improve teaching methods. Generally prepare lessons each semester are based on the syllabus this semester, teaching plan, relying on a book, a piece of chalk on the blackboard and writing down a class, the teacher talked about dry mouth, students listen faster to go to bed, the students get is boring theoretical knowledge and basic definitions. the availability of teaching slides, television teaching, audio and video teaching, so teaching content, rich forms, will make good teaching.
