Abstract:When we judge the integrated language capability, writing skill is an important symbol, which directly reflects the students’ creativity in English learning. But it’s a fact that English writing is a major difficulty for most English learning students because the ability is hard to be improved. Fortunately, in recent years, English writing skills have become really important in the reformation of college curriculums all around the world. Universities in our country have also stressed on the conversion of the ways of English writing, which calls on teachers to change the existing ways of teaching that restricts the open atmosphere in classes and hardly provides chances for students to use English synthetically. In order to convert their teaching style to better improve students’ writing ability, teachers can take the method of Project-Based Learning (PBL) during English writing classes. Based on the practical teaching, this paper explores the application of PBL in the English writing classes, puts forward some model of teaching with respect to the details and ways of teaching and makes some discussion. This plays a positive and practical role in reforming the teaching process of English writing, developing students’ independent learning as well as fully promoting students’ ability of using English.
