Abstract

The autonomous learning of writing for non-English majors is far from being satisfied nationwide[4], which is hard to accept. How to enhance the writing capability or writing learning for non-English majors has been a critical and tricky issue for the frontier teachers and scholars, and a research topic as well. The present study seeks to intentionally deploy the relevant theories of autonomous learning in the four-month long English course for non-English majors. For the limitation of paper length and time, the length approach and peer evaluation, which are applied in teaching, are exemplified in the present paper. The results have shown that a clear teaching goal, practical writing topics and contents, and writing strategy have triggered students’ enthusiasm in writing learning and ensure the realization of teaching goals.
