英语写作在高中英语学习中有着重要地位，它需要学生综合应用所学的英语知识，是学生语言能力、逻辑组织能力、思辨能力与创造能力等英语能力与素养的体现。然而，当下的英语写作教学存在碎片化、浅层化、机械化等现象，无法促进学生深度学习的发生，也无法帮助学生获得适应信息化时代所需的能力与素养。为此，有学者主张在英语写作教学中实施英语学习活动观有利于促进深度学习的发生。而在目前的相关研究中，相较于阅读、听说与词汇等，基于英语学习活动观的写作教学的实证研究较少，且这种模式的教学与深度学习的影响研究也非常有限。因此，本研究旨在探讨以下三个问题：在高中英语写作学习过程中，当代高中生的深度学习现状如何？基于英语学习活动观的高中英语写作教学应该如何设计？基于英语学习活动观的高中英语写作教学如何影响高中生的深度学习？

为回答上述问题,笔者采用准实验研究的方法,在A市某高中高一年级进行了为期三个月的实验。其中，实验A班由笔者亲自授课，在英语学习活动观指导下进行写作教学，而对照B班的写作课则是由该班教师采用其原来的授课方法进行教学，且这种教学方法有别于英语学习活动观。在实验开始前和实验结束后，笔者通过试卷测试、量表测量与访谈的方式收集了学生的写作水平、学习投入水平和深度学习能力水平的相关数据，以检验基于英语学习活动观的英语写作教学对高中生深度学习的影响。

在整理分析数据的基础上，本研究得出以下结论：（1）基于对前测数据的分析可以总结出在英语写作学习过程中，当代高中生的深度学习现状，具体如下：总体上，在英语写作学习过程中，高中生的深度学习水平偏低。在写作表现上，高中生在作文的结构、内容和语言表达上容易出现错误，如结构不完整或分段不合理，内容不正确或不完整，语言表达匮乏和语法问题频出等；在学习投入上，高中生的认知和情感投入水平偏低，没有意识到写作的重要性，对写作不感兴趣，没有形成良好的写作态度和习惯，学习的自主性较低，语言基础不牢固；在深度学习能力上，高中生合作意识不足，小组活动参与度低，不善于沟通和表达，且自主学习能力较低。（2）在教学实施上，经过对后测数据与学生访谈结果的分析，笔者发现基于英语学习活动观的写作教学实施效果良好，改变了学生对写作教学的看法，一定程度上激发了学生的写作兴趣和积极性，提高了学生的课堂参与度，培养了学生思考和反思的写作习惯等；（3）基于对后测数据的分析，笔者发现基于英语学习活动观的写作教学对于提高学生的英语写作水平、学习投入水平与深度学习能力均有明显的促进作用。因此，笔者认为基于英语学习活动观的写作教学总体上可以促进学生的深度学习，改善浅层学习的现状。

English writing plays an important role in the English learning of high school, as students are required to comprehensively employ what they have learned for writing. English writing is a reflection of students' English proficiency and literacy, including language ability, logical ability, critical thinking ability, and creative ability. However, the current English writing teaching is fragmented, shallow, and mechanized, failing to promote the occurrence of deep learning for students which can help them acquire the abilities and qualities required for adapting to the information age. Therefore, the activity-based approach to English learning is advocated for promoting the occurrence of deep learning in English learning. At present, compared to reading, listening and speaking, and vocabulary learning, empirical research on adopting the activity-based approach to English learning in writing is relatively limited, and research on the impact of such learning model on deep learning is also very limited. Therefore, this research aims to explore the following three questions: How is the deep learning among high school students during their learning of English writing currently? How to effectively design English writing courses with the activity-based approach to English learning? What is the impact of such writing courses on the deep learning of high school students?

To answer the above questions, a three-month quasi-experimental research was designed and conducted in Grade 1 of a high school in City A. Specifically, Class A, the experimental group, received an English writing courses that were designed by the author who employed the activity-based approach to English learning. However, Class B, the control group, had writing courses provided by its original teacher who used his usual teaching methods different form the activity-based approach to English learning. In this research, writing testing, scale measurements, and interviews were employed to collect data on students' writing level, learning engagement level, and deep learning ability. Two rounds of tests before and after the research were conducted.

The experimental results show that: (1) The pre-test data indicated that during their learning of English writing, the deep learning of high school students was at a relatively low level. Specifically, in the writing test, students were prone to errors in the structure, content, and language expression, such as incomplete or improper structure or paragraphing, incorrect or incomplete content, improper language expression, and frequent grammar mistakes; in terms of learning engagement, students had a low level of cognitive and emotional engagement in writing learning. For example, they failed to realize the importance of writing and form good writing habits and attitudes, and had little interest and autonomy in writing learning, which led to weak language foundation; in terms of deep learning ability, students were not good at deep learning. For example, they lacked a sense of cooperation, and they were unwilling to participate in group activities, and not good at communication, expression and self-learning. (2) The testing and interview data showed that the activity-based approach to English learning had a positive impact on students’ writing learning. Specifically, it could change students' attitudes towards writing learning, to some extent arouse their interest in writing learning, enhance their classroom participation, and cultivate their writing habits of thinking and reflection; (3) The post-test data suggested that the activity-based approach to English learning significantly improved students' writing, learning engagement level, and deep learning ability. Therefore, to some up, the activity-based approach to English learning can overall promote the occurrence of deep learning of high students.
