A Study on the Blended Teaching Mode of College English Writing

Liqun GAO

Abstract


This study aims to explore the application of a blended learning model for college English writing teaching based on the Production-Oriented Approach (POA) theory. An eight-step blended teaching mode for English writing instruction is designed and applied in English writing courses for first-year non-English majors at a comprehensive university in Beijing. Results show that the blended learning mode in the study suits the characteristics and English proficiency levels of the target students. Effects have been achieved in addressing the issue of weak writing motivation among students in traditional college English writing classes and in enhancing the quality of students' written output as well as in improving the efficiency of teachers' writing correction work.
