Analysis of the Problems of the Chinese College Students' EFL Classroom Writings
Yu, Aiju
International Education Studies, v5 n5 p199-203 Oct 2012
This paper explores the problems of EFL classroom writings in the Chinese college teaching context from the perspective of textual organization and pragmatic strategy. Influence of their native cultural thought pattern causes the problem of discourse pattern and cohesion; lack of sufficient pragmatic strategy renders students' unawareness in writing purpose, genre, reader and style.
