Abstract

In the construction of the teaching system of applied undergraduate programmes, the value of "application" is highlighted, and high-quality talents with strong social adaptability and competitiveness are cultivated, which has certain requirements for the communication, writing, teamwork and innovation abilities of university students. Currently, there are many problems in writing among university students, who do not pay enough attention to writing courses and rely too much on artificial intelligence to write, lacking creative independence. The lack of writing skills also brings with it many problems, as many students find it difficult to write project books and application essays when they enter society, which does not help them to adapt quickly to the workplace. At the same time, communication skills are an important assessment factor for graduates when they first enter the workplace, and many general education courses at this stage neglect the development of communication skills. Therefore, in order to quickly solve the dilemma of the teaching mode of traditional writing courses, Liaoning Institute of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation offers the Writing and Communication course, which starts and ends with improving students' writing and communication in the workplace, and is student-centred, helping students to improve their writing and communication in the workplace and develop critical thinking skills through innovative teaching modes and improved assessment and evaluation, which helps to improve students' overall quality and cultivate Application-oriented talents.
