ABSTRACT: As one of the indispensable public compulsory courses, College English is
required to be practical application-oriented and cultivation of students’
application ability-focused. English Writing, which is an essential component
of English practical abilities, needs more attentions and explorations by
college English teachers and researchers, particularly in applied-type
universities. By experimental studies, this paper aimed to contrast the differences
of English comprehensive ability and English writing ability under the teaching
mode combining iWrite assistance and major orientation and the teaching mode
with traditional approaches. It was found through research that by means of
iWrite 2.0 students could achieve measurable progress both in professional-oriented
English writing skills and English comprehensive abilities. Meanwhile, students’
autonomous learning ability was also significantly promoted. Then, with data
collection and analysis, the writer deeply discussed and explored the causes of
what had been found in the research. The limitations of the research and the
conclusion were also expounded in the final part of this paper.
