Memetics reveals the law of language development. The replication and transmission of language memes provide a quick and an effective way to enrich human languages and a new perspective on foreign language teaching. This paper explores the teaching of College English writing that memetics can shed a new light upon. Having analyzed the two ways for memes to be replicated and transmitted ： memetic genotype -- the same core content inherited in various language forms, and memetic phenotype -- the iden- tical set pattern of language followed by different contents, the author holds that these could be applied to the teaching of College English writing course.
