The Whole-process Research Paper Writing Task in the College EST Course

Abstract

The current situation requires college students to develop their academic English competences, but the input-focused EST courses can’t meet the needs. This paper introduces and analyses the design of the whole-process writing task in the College EST course. This task requires the students to do a research and report it in the paper, which stimulates students to think and work hard in and out of class to plan and do the research creatively and learn various skills to finish the output task, research paper writing. The actual teaching and learning result shows it works well and has gained success to some degree.
