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

Although English writing is gaining attention and emphasis on our college syllabus, college students have made very little advancement in English writing. This is partly due to the shortcomings of traditional teaching methods. This paper suggests that two ways be adopted in order to improve students' writing ability: (1) integrating reading with writing; (2) integrating speaking with writing.展开更多

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 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
