Conclusion

Despite the possible limitations of this study, it does present a picture of therelationship between chunks using beliefs and strategies by Chinese learners of English, and the relationship between the use of chunks and the writing proficiency. It alsoenlightens us that there are several areas which deserve further research as a continuationof the present study.Firstly, this study only places stress on the role of chunks in writing. In order to havea more thorough understanding of the nature of chunks to provide more basis on ourlanguage acquisition, the role of chunks in listening, speaking, reading and translationcan be researched.Secondly, this study does not deal with the errors made in chunks so that a furthererror analysis can be made to explore chunks.Thirdly, a further study on other kinds of discourses can be made to examine therole of chunks in English learning. For example, not only written texts can be used asmaterial, spoken texts can also be studied. And various research methodologie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。
