Abstract

Writing ability is viewed as an important competence of language output. With the college English teaching reform, writing in some English examinations takes a greater part compared with other abilities; however, students’ writing skills are not satisfactory. As far as writing teaching is concerned, students and teachers feel that the arrangement of college English class is tight-scheduled, and teaching content in classroom is much heavier, so writing has been a great concern for both students and teachers. Nowadays, scaffolding instruction on the basis of constructivism is accepted and implemented widely by home-and-abroad educationalists. In this paper, setting this research on 42 nursing majors, the author constructs scaffolding for students in writing in the light of writing process, changes teaching plan and procedure, and completes this research with scaffolding instruction in English writing in order to explore an effective way to develop learners’ writing skills.
