Methods used to eliminate the students’ chintonglish sentences in their writing

Abstract

In this paper the authors discuss four types of English in Chinese students’ English writing. They are Pure English, China English, Sinicized English and Chinese Tone English (Chintonglish). As the Chintonglish (Chinese Tone English) sentences appear frequently in students writing, the authors will discuss this type of “English” from the psychological and cultural point of view, which may serve as a guide for the Chinese students’ writing of good English. In the authors’ opinion the methods used for the elimination of such Chintonglish sentences in the students’ English writing are to point out the cause of such Chintonglish mistakes to the students clearly, create an English communicative environment and choose some typical pieces of passages for the students to read and imitate.
