In a long period, the product approach and the process approach dominate the field of writing teaching. With the development of genre and genre-analysis theory, we begin to realize that genre-based approach is effective in improving students ’ reading comprehension and writing. Based on the analysis of the theory and on the present situations of college English teaching and personal teaching experience, the genre-based teaching approach is introduced to the writing and reading comprehension teaching.展开更多

Several authors have disscussed theimportance of reading. (e. g Harmer, 1983 and Holden, 1983). As weall know, even before writing, people often read for information whichis subsequently to be incorporated in their own composition. However, the problemremains of how the reader can finish readirg a large amount of material inlimited time and get the correct meaning of the content as quickly as possible.展开更多

In the teaching of English, there are several main sets of textbooks available for non-majors of English. These textbooks are compiled based on China's National Syllabus of College English. In order to learn these materials better, both teachers and students should know how to use and develop the teaching materials. In the essay, the book of"College English"will be used to explain the ways to develop teaching materials. As teachers and learners, textbooks are so important that every teacher and learner should choose the best and the most suitable one for their learning.展开更多

The students taught were second-year non-English majors from X university and the course book used was New Horizon College English: Reading and Writing(3 rd edition). SLA theories involved include Input Hypothesis, Noticing Hypothesis and Comprehensible Output Hypothesis; teaching methodologies applied include Grammar-Translation Method,Communicative Language Teaching and Task Based Language Teaching(TBLT). After a semester-long teaching practice, the present reflection was completed after a deep discussion with the teacher. Students description, teaching process, and merits and demerits of this practice were illustrated.展开更多

Cohesion is the system of formal visible markers, which manifest the semantic relations between sentences. Coherence lies in the deep structure of a text. It refers to the complex non-linear notional-functional relations behind the linear sequences of words or sentences. Controlling is an intuitive semantic key-link, which lies on the topmost level in the hierarchical representation of a text. This thesis attempts to bring these textlinguistic theories in contact with practical issues in language teaching, especially in the teaching of reading and writing. The authors believe that their explorations of the implications of textlinguistie theories on ELT will arouse the interest of other language teachers and meanwhile give them new ideas for their language teaching.展开更多
