《英語寫作任務類型與大學生批判性思維能力培養(英文版)》由田丹著：This study follows the essential steps of action research on the basis of College English writing teaching. The researcher discovered some problems in her own teaching practice, made some reforms, put reformed learning tasks as well as teaching approaches into practice and reflected upon the implemen-tation and effectiveness. Text analysis, questionnaires and interviews are employed for repeated " action-reflection-action" and constant improvement. In the course of three-round action research, various writing tasks and teaching approaches and corresponding assessment methods are designed to aim at the cultivation of language proficiency and critical thinking skills, such as inference, reasoning, classification, analysis and self-validation.
