摘要
我国大学英语学习者在议论文写作中普遍存在论证立场模糊、论据结构单一、论证逻辑混乱等共性问题。就其原因主要是英语学习者普遍缺乏思辨能力。本文提出将思辨教学整合到议论文写作课堂,以思辨促论证,从而提高大学英语语言学习者的议论文写作水平。
Chinese English learners' argumentative writings are always featured as unclear positions,monotonous argumentative structures and illogical reasoning. One of the main reasons is the learners' lack of critical thinking skills. Thus,this article proposed to infuse critical thinking instruction into argumentative writing classes hopefully to improve college English learners' argumentative writing ability.
