写作是外语学习的基本技能之一，也是外语学习者觉得较难提高的一项技能。自从学习策略和策略培训这两个概念被引入到外语教学中来，一些研究者开始研究策略培训是否有助于外语学习。以往的策略培训研究大都集中在外语听力，口语等方面，关于外语写作培训的研究尚不多见。此外，以少数民族学生为研究对象的写作策略培训还处于空白状态。本次研究采纳了行动研究的方法，旨在研究外语写作策略培训对少数民族学生的外语写作有何帮助这一问题。本次行动研究为期一个学期。研究对象是北京某大学民族教育学院一个班的学生,共49人。每周教师专门抽出90分钟的时间，进行较为系统的、有针对性的外语写作策略培训（包括讲解技巧，分析例文，评讲学生作业等）。在研究前和研究结束时，学生分别填写了有关写作策略使用情况的问卷。每次培训后，学生要完成写作任务。老师和学生要分别对教学和学习进行反思。研究者对收集到的这些数据进行了统计分析。研究结果表明：1）用行动研究的方法进行外语写作策略培训是有效的，培训后，学生的外语写作水平明显提高了；2）学生外语写作水平的提高主要体现在三个方面：对文章整体结构的安排；段落的扩展；句子的多样性。尤其是前两者的进步比较明显；3）这次策略培训没有使学生在词汇和语法方面有明显进步。用行动研究的方法对少数民族学生进行写作策略培训提高了他们的外语写作水平，受到了学生和老师的欢迎，值得在外语教学中推广。

Writing is taken as one of the most important basic skills in learning a foreign language. However, learners find it so hard to compose a writing. This may be partially attributed to the absence of knowledge of FL writing strategies. Previous researchers on FL learning strategies suggest that FL learning strategies exert a positive influence on students’ FL learning and strategy training may help students grasp the FL learning strategies. But the researchers focus on the skills of listening, speaking, reading. Studies on EFL learners’ writing ability are not so flourished in China and abroad. Only few studies concern the relationship between FL writing strategies and the FL writing proficiency.The present study attempts to investigate the influence of FL writing strategy training on the FL writing proficiency of minority students. The action research is taken as the research method in the present study. The research study is carried out in a natural classroom in which 49 minority students are involved. The whole research lasts for a whole term, during which the students are given systematic and formal instruction on FL writing strategies.The results reveal that the students improve their FL writing proficiency through one semester’s FL writing strategy training. Besides, they attach great importance to the organization, paragraphs, and sentences of a composition and apply the writing strategies in these three aspects in FL writing. However, their writings show little improvement in vocabulary and grammar.In conclusion, the FL writing strategy training places a positive effect on the minority students’ FL writing. Therefore, it deserves being extended in FL teaching.
