In view of the fact that most college English teachers in China invest a great deal of time andeffort responding to students’ writing,but find students improve so little in their writing skills,I ventureto put forward an alternative way of teaching writing in the paper,that is,teaching writing throughsmall group conferencing.Compared with the traditional teaching methods,small group conferencing hasfollowing advantages:(1)Saving evaluation time;(2)Providing better feedback;(3)Helping studentscritique their writing,etc.Since many empirical studies and teaching practices demonstrate that smallgroup conferencing is an effective and efficient way of teaching writing,we have good reason to believethat it will become widespread in the college English teaching in China.
