Abstract:

With the boom of modern science and technology, computer and Internet have melted into human’s daily lives; also it has been affecting the traditional teaching modes. By means of computer and multi-media, the traditional English teaching instructions have altered dramatically. This paper mainly introduces what CAE is, the application of CAE in one of approaches to English writing instruction---process writing approach and its function on students’ writing abilities. A quasi-experimental research is designed in the quantitative part of the study including 12 weeks’ intervention. The procedures are pretest, writing instruction, posttest and data analysis. The result from this research indicates that the process approach by means of CAE in writing instruction is an effective approach to improve students’ writing interests and abilities.
