Abstract Negative transfer of Chinese has always been one of the major obstacles for middle school students to learn English. What’s more, middle school students are in the initial stage of learning English. English writing reflects the ability to use English during the process of language output. As a fact, it is still a chief problem to be solved to help students overcome the negative transfer of Chinese. Based on the relevant theories and research findings at home and abroad, the thesis firstly investigates the contradiction between the requirements of English Curriculum and the current situation of students’ writing, pointing out the importance of studying Chinese transfer on English writing. Secondly, a detailed analysis is performed of the typical errors on different levels: lexical, grammatical and discourse. Thirdly, some implications and strategies are proposed to overcome the influence of negative transfer on English writing.52864

 1. Introduction

In china, middle school students are mostly exposed to Chinese in their daily life, so they are much more familiar with the expression way of Chinese than that of English. But with the development of china and deepen international communication, English has become an important ability for us to express ourselves. A person who can write well is usually considered an excellent English learner because he can express his ideas and feelings freely. With the same reason, in our English teaching process, writing is always been regarded as the weakest skill compared to listening, speaking and reading for Chinese students during the process of learning English. (Wang Jianqin, 2007:34) This is because that in china, most students begin to learn English in 7 or 8 years old or even later in some poor areas after they have had a good command of Chinese. Undoubtedly, they have formed the Chinese way of expression and thinking mode which will inevitably influence their learning in English at that time. As an important way of language output and an effective way of evaluating students’ learning, writing has a great value to study t language negative transfer. 中学生英语写作中母语的负迁移影响分析:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_56946.html
