sp;English.  Bygate  (1996)  made  an empirical study to find out the relationship between practice frequency and speaking.

1.2 Purpose of the Study 
It is generally accepted that in English learning, writing is a more challenging skill than the other three language skills---reading, listening and speaking, because it’s a more complex cognitive  activity.  When  completing  a  writing  task,  the  writers  have  to  master  and  control different variables at the same time. Consequently, both teachers and learners find it hard and frustrating to improve the students’ writing proficiency even though they attach much more importance to English writing. Due to the limited time for writing teaching and the students’ ignorance  of  pre-writing  preparations,  students  do  not  treat  writing  seriously  and  in  most cases,  they  write  only  in  order  to  finish  the  writing  task,  but  not  be  well-prepared  for  the writing. All of these bring about the result that students do not have positive attitudes towards English writing. What are the causes leading to this? The reasons are presented as follows. First  of  all,  teacher-centered  writing  teaching  pays  little  attention  to  students’ self-revision  abilities.  In  previous  English  writing  classes,  because  of  the  limited  time  for writing  teaching,  the  teacher  is  always  the  center  of  class.  They  never  have  enough  time  to think and deal with their languages. Secondly,  stressing  the  product  and  ignoring  the  process  in  normal  English  writing classes,  the teachers always  aim  at  leading  the  learners to  write  good  writing  works,  but  not pay  much attention to the writing process. The teachers just require the writing products. So students  finish  the  task  for  the  task.  They  will  not  think  about  enriching  the  contents  and improve their languages. Consequently, they can’t improve their writing ability.

2. Literature Review and Theoretical Basis 

As  is  stated  above,  task  frequency  is  one  of  most  influencing  in  second  language acquisition,  and  English  writhing  plays  an  important  role  in  English  learning  process. Therefore, it is necessary to study the effect of task frequency on writing. The current chapter reviews both theoretical and empirical studies briefly. 

2.1 Theoretical Framework 
Ellis  (2002)  was  the  initiator  of  the  new  definition  of  frequency  in  Second  Language Acquisition.  He  made  a  systematic  explanation  of  it,  w本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
