Abstract:
In the current college education system, for non-English majors, college English is a basic subject with an important position, especially for writing. English writing ability is an expression of English comprehensive ability, which can objectively reflect students’ language application ability. In the teaching of English writing in colleges and universities, it is necessary to innovate the teaching mode and build a modern education system to stimulate students’ enthusiasm for writing. As an automatic composition correction system, the correcting network conforms to the trend of educational informatization and promotes the reform of the traditional writing teaching mode. It is of great help to improve college students’ writing ability. This paper collects the composition data from the two advanced classes of non-English majors in Panzhihua University based on the correcting network. Research methods of experimental, comparative, theoretical, and interview are used to analyze the writing samples to find out some problems. Then some related causes are to be analyzed and some reasonable suggestions to be put forward for teachers and students to make full use of information resources, and strengthen the online interaction, so as to improve students’ English writing ability.
