摘要

Introduction College English Language Teaching (CELT) is a special term for teaching English to non-English major students in Chinese universities. Nowadays in CELT, more and more attention is being paid to writing. This trend seems to have been reinforced by the inclusion of a writing test in the National College English Test, which has great influence on CELT in China. However, because of time limitations on CELT courses, usually four or five hours a week, it is quite impossible to plan a specific writing course. As a result, it has to be integrated into other courses-in most cases into reading courses. In Chongqing University (Chongda), for instance, writing is included in Intensive Reading. Although writing is combined with other English courses, it has not been fully integrated. In other words, the course including writing is divided into two parts which have nothing at all to do with each other.
