Investigate the “Issues” in Chinese Students’ English Writing and Their “Reasons”: Revisiting the Recent Evidence in Chinese Academia

Abstract

This research synthesis collected, compiled, and analyzed 29 academic research articles that were published in China in recent years, addressing and exploring the issues in undergraduate English writing education in China and the possible reasons causing and/or explaining the issues. Five major findings were discovered and discussed. Suggestions were made to reinforce the understanding of Chinese students' English writing practices in China and in the United States.
