Writing, as an important language skill, receives much attention in language teaching in junior high school. Traditional writing teaching always asks students to remember examples by heart to collect language resources, which plays no real function to improve students’ writing skills. Thus, it is necessary to design the writing class in an effective way. This thesis aims to illustrate how to build scaffolding for students during the process approach to writing and help them complete the writing tasks. This method focuses on the process of building scaffolding to facilitate the writing process, rather than only emphasizing the outcome. Through the classroom observation and cases analysis, the author further explores the scaffolding theory in English writing teaching in junior high school.
