A Probe into Revision of English Compositions by Non-English Majors

The currently-adopted English composition revision approaches, following the traditional uphold methods, cannot meet the requirements of big classes for non-English majors. On the basis of summarization of composition revision approaches and of analysis of their respective advantages and disadvantages, the thesis conducts a survey of the merits and demerits of the currently-adopted methods, introducing the integrated approach into the English composition revision. Softwares will be used to analyze the language characteristics, tutors will check out the non-linguistic features and students are encouraged to revise compositions with each other, by which compositions will be macroscopically, meta-scopically and microscopically revised. The relationship between language and non-language characteristics as well as position and negation will be well balanced, achieving efficiency and effectiveness of English composition revision.
