Abstract

The aim of this study is to search for the best teaching method to help the college students in their argumentative writing. This paper presents an analysis of the connection words in Chinese college students' argumentative writings and examines the mistakes of the connection words. The result shows that the main reasons of the mistakes are attributed to the transfer of mother tongue and over generalization. The result suggests that the better teaching method in college students' argumentative writing is of great significance in improving college students' writing ability.
