Abstract

Writing is regarded as the core skill that can fully represent one's overall English proficiency during English learning. However, for Chinese high school students, the difference between Chinese and English makes it hard for them to perform well in English writing. The negative transfer of the mother tongue has become a significant aspect that influences Chinese high school students' English writing performance. Based on previous research, this paper tends to provide a general overview of this common phenomenon, exploring the development of this concept and the related theories in second language acquisition. Specifically, with a focus on Chinese high school students' writing situation, this paper also tries to analyze the common errors caused by negative transfer that takes place in senior high students' writings and its corresponding solutions.
