Abstract

Nowadays online writing has become a new way of developing one’s writing ability. Through structured evaluation of an online writing resource site, this paper attempts to analyze the writing as a process, as a genre and its practicability in Chinese context. It turns out that writing is a social practice rather than a solitary activity. Learners will gain new insight into writing and it also has pedagogical significance for the teachers.
