Writing as a language skill in English as a foreign language on the college level has always been important for academic and practical needs in and out of school. It cannot be effectively taught due to the lack of applicable pedagogical theory and linguistic theory. As writing is not a sentence factory, dissected sentences removed from context and communicative intent in transformational grammar cannot account for the structure and meaning of a total discourse. Distastified with the study of narrow syntax, linguists, anthropologists, cognitive psychologists, and literary critics have turned to the study of text in the recent decade. The emphasis in textlinguistics is placed on the study of 'any passage, spoken, or watever length, that does form a unified whole' (Halliday and Hasan, 1976, p. 1). This 'unified whole' should be the most important aspect in writing when we think of it as a whole thing. |
