Incorporating Fink’s Integrated Model to Developing Writing Courses in College

Abstract

To strengthen the teaching quality of writing courses and students’ active learning, a writing course design based on Fink’s integrated model is presented. With the analysis of situational factors, the proposed course highlights the interactive integration of learning goals, feedback and assessment, and teaching and learning activities. The four primary activities on such a course are discussed in detail. The results can not only develop students’ writing skills in a holistic way, but also provide them with significant learning experience.
