In this approach, language teachers draw learners＇ attention to the grammatical structures and try to be explicit about the relation between the form and the function either to confirm or to correct learners＇ hypotheses and develop their cognitive form-meaning mapping.

One recurring question of CR theory in the Chinese ESL context is whether the rhetorical differences in organization, modeling, and syntax between Chinese and English writing indeed exist, and if so how they affect ESL writing. Through examining the controversies surrounding these rhetorical differences along with a brief review of the development of CR theory and pedagogical implications, this paper contends that the study of CR theory has exerted beneficial influences on L2 writing.展开更多
