英语学术论文写作传统与文化研究在英语专业教学中的应用

Introduction of the culture and conventions of English academic writing to the undergraduate English majors

本研究使用了定量和定性的两种研究方法:使用SPSS(11.5版)软件对实验班和控制班的毕业论文总成绩(包括获得省级优秀论文的比率)进行描述统计和演绎统计,以确定实验教学的效果;同时,通过抽阅部分学生论文文本、在毕业论文答辩中和(或)答辩之后与学生作者进行对话访谈,进一步探讨了本次教学改革的效果,提出了在今后的实验教学中需要改进的地方。

Both quantitative and qualitative research methods have been used in this study. The SPSS（ Version 11.5 ）has been used to measure the achievements of the experimental teaching by making both descriptive and inferential statistics. The researcher has also examined the graduation paper written by some student participants that are randomly chosen from the experimental class, and has also made interviews with those students during or after their graduation paper debates. After investigating the effectiveness of the experimental teaching, some practical suggestions have been put forward to further improve the teaching quality of the research paper writing course.
