Abstract

Based on the theory of memetics, this paper explores the characteristics of the teaching of English writing for college students. A total of 77 sophomores in our school are selected to participate in the empirical research. The results show that the memetic teaching method can improve the writing level of college students in terms of words in short terms. It is proved that this teaching method of is an effective teaching method, which is worth popularizing in teaching college English writing. Meanwhile, ideological and political elements can be actively integrated into the teaching of college English writing.
