Abstract

The new high school English curriculum standards emphasize core literacy development, including writing skills. However, students struggle with English writing, hindered by low self-efficacy. Enhancing self-efficacy is vital to improve writing performance and advance writing instruction reform. This paper explores the positive effect of self-efficacy on writing and proposes teaching strategies to boost it. Based on curriculum content, we offer specific teaching modes. This research offers fresh perspectives for implementing new standards and practical methods for teachers to overcome writing barriers, boost students' self-efficacy, and ultimately enhance their English writing abilities.
