The Study on College English Writing Based on Multi-dimensional Feed-back Mode

The study constructed a multi-dimensional feedback mode integrating teacher feedback, peer feedback and network feedback, and applied it in the teaching of College English Writing. After 16 weeks of teaching, the students in the multi-dimen-sional feedback class had significantly better overall writing scores than those in the teacher-feedback class. In terms of individual scores, multi-dimensional feedback played a better role in improving vocabulary and grammar than the class using teacher feed-back. However, there were no significant differences in the responses of writing tasks, coherence and cohesion. The study showed that most students were satisfied with the mode, believing that it was helpful to relieve writing anxiety, stimulate writing interest and improve their writing level.

TEACHING WRITING IN THE COLLEGE ENGLISH CLASSROOM

Introduction College English Language Teaching (CELT) is a special term for teaching English to non-English major students in Chinese universities. Nowadays in CELT, more and more attention is being paid to writing. This trend seems to have been reinforced by the inclusion of a writing test in the National College English Test, which has great influence on CELT in China. However, because of time limitations on CELT courses, usually four or five hours a week, it is quite impossible to plan a specific writing course. As a result, it has to be integrated into other courses-in most cases into reading courses. In Chongqing University (Chongda), for instance, writing is included in Intensive Reading. Although writing is combined with other English courses, it has not been fully integrated. In other words, the course including writing is divided into two parts which have nothing at all to do with each other.
