Abstract

This paper explores teaching strategies for continuation writing in high school English under the New College Entrance Examination (NCEE) system. Based on the interactive alignment model and the production-oriented approach, strate-gies such as stimulating writing motivation, diversifying materials, encouraging innovative thinking, increasing contextualized English input, and implementing multi-dimensional assessment are proposed. The innovation lies in the syner-gistic application of these theories with teaching strategies, addressing tradi-tional teaching challenges and enhancing students' language skills and critical thinking. The findings offer new insights and methods for high school English continuation writing instruction.
