摘　　要：批判教学法赋予外语教师和学生社会责任,让英语学习者超越自身的历史和文化束缚,获得个人自由与解放。本文从二语/外语写作教学史上的实用性与批判性之争开始,分析目前英语写作教学中存在的主要问题。然后,以中南大学写作教改尝试为例,探讨如何利用批判教学法解决这些问题,主要方法包括重塑写作理念、重构写作语境和重建师生关系。本文呼吁写作教师和学生重新认识外语教学的本质、目标和内容,创造性地使用批判教学法来实现教育变革社会的目的。Critical pedagogy assumes a social responsibility for teachers and students of foreign languages,and enables learners of Eng- lish to transcend their own histories or cultural norms,so as to achieve personal emancipation or liberation.This paper begins with the persistent conflict in the pragmatic and critical approaches in the history of L2 writing,then moves to the prevalent prob- lems in current EFL writing education in China.Drawing upon a teaching experiment conducted in Central South University,the author considers the means by which critical pedagogy might open up possibilities to address the problems in China’s EFL writing education.This could be achieved,the author argues,by reshaping students’ideologies and perceptions about writing,the breaking of conventional writing contexts and the＂scaffolding＂of a new writing context,as well as the rebuilding of teacher- student relationship.The study calls for writing educators and learners to re-envision the nature,objective and content of foreign language teaching,and to empower student writers through the use of creative critical pedagogies.
