Systematic Teaching Design of Communicative Context in Business English Writing in Chinese Context

Xiping LI

Abstract


It is a heated discussion among researchers of foreign-language teaching on how to enhance the interest of study and teaching effect through the design, organization and implementation of classroom teaching of EFL writing, which is responsible for the enhancement of the student’s writing competence. This study is devoted to the systematic teaching design of communicative context in EFL writing within the paradigm of communicative language teaching, concentrating on the exploring of the cultivation of communicative environment in the aspect of macro-view, middle-view and micro-view on the practice of Business English Writing. Contrastive analysis and survey revealed that this overall design of the curriculum was much more effective in the teaching practice compared to the traditional one in arousing the learner’s interest and awareness of readers on the chosen topic.
