Ghostly and horrible environment; 2. The tone of death; 3. Uncanny character images. Generally speaking, Gothic literature reveals the gloomy, dark, sad and mysterious literary styles, but what fascinates us most is the creation of atmosphere—being horrific, thrilling and intensive, which give people different kinds of sensory touches—Visually, physically and even spiritually. This Gothic style places emphasis on both emotion and a pleasurable kind of terror, thus embodying the senses of a quest for a horrible atmosphere, and an appreciation of the joys of extreme emotion as well as the thrills of fearfulness to readers.","PeriodicalId":266719,"journal":{"name":"IRA International Journal of Education and Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124930294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under the background of “Internet plus” education, colleges and universities pay more attention to the application of network teaching resources in teaching. Universities intensified the reform of college English teaching and built platforms for autonomous learning, supplementing the shortcomings of English classroom teaching and improving students' autonomous learning ability. This paper takes local college students as the research object, makes an investigation and analyzes the situations of college students autonomous learning. The findings suggested that the following questions are addressed: lack of motivation of autonomous learning, lack of self-exploration of effective learning strategies, lack of the ability of multiple interactions. This paper will give relevant strategies for building a platform for college English autonomous learning to promote and cultivate students' independent learning ability of foreign languages.","PeriodicalId":266719,"journal":{"name":"IRA International Journal of Education and Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133840281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":266719,"journal":{"name":"IRA International Journal of Education and Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128073593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is concluded that long or short reticent in class is closely related to the teachers’ teaching guidance style, teaching questioning strategies and teaching methods, as well as students’ language ability. At the same time, it is also closely related to the value judgment and orientation of “saving face”, “respecting teachers”, exam-oriented culture and “silence” behavior and habits in traditional culture.","PeriodicalId":266719,"journal":{"name":"IRA International Journal of Education and Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126835854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
