Abstract: Currently, there is a popular slogan in the field of education, i.e.: improving the self capacity is vital in order for students to become globalized and connect to the world wide network. For the purpose of cultivating student's abilities to be competent when communicating with the people from different cultural backgrounds, not only must the students possess oral language skills, they also need to know how to compose their thinking into written words. Writing courses currently are not given equal weight as compared to speaking in traditional language classes, especially in the junior college system. Therefore, it is hard for the students to achieve the goals that concerned authorities would hope for. This paper discussed how to help those who are interested in writing in English but have difficulties undertaking this process by themselves. The participants all majored in Applied English. It was the first time for them to take a writing class. In this paper, I attempted to realize what kind of language students prefer to use in their writing. To what extent will the LI in uence the L2 output? What are appropriate procedures to conduct in a writing class for novice students? Will the concepts of correct grammar in uence their written expressions?
Although all the participants majored in English, they were originally from vocational schools. Compared to the students in some other colleges, their English performance might be lower. Fortunately, the writing class was a medium forum of around 30 students. Thus, the teacher could address the student's needs individually and provide necessary assistance. In the findings, I detailed methods which were suitable for the students to apply so that they could hope fully connect with people from other cultures without any communication breakdowns and continue to broaden their worldwide vision.
