Abstract

The paper offers an optional approach to teach non-English major university students of mainland China how to write. It attempts to reveal the major problems in co college English writing: over-emphasis on linguistic accuracy, lack of systematic input of genre knowledge, and over-looking the development of students' writing ability. Based on the analysis of these problems, a case study was implemented to demonstrate the modification and significance to apply the genre-based approach to the college English course of mainland China.
