Instructional Design of Multimodal Input Based on Output-oriented Approach in Teaching English Writing in High School

Abstract

High school English writing instruction is facing a period of change from a focus on writing results to a focus on the writing process, and from an emphasis on input to an output orientation. Writing, as an important way of assessing English proficiency, is routinely neglected in teaching. Multimodal input writing instruction based on the output-oriented approach provides students with authentic output-oriented writing materials and presents students with diverse resources in a multimodal way (videos, pictures, audio, etc.) to ease students' preparation for writing in terms of language, content, and structure, making writing output more efficient.
