本研究以提高大学生学术英语写作能力为目的，设计了一门文科与通识教育专业的学术英语写作课程，采用“教学设计法”。该课程的设计包括以下几个阶段：（1）评估指标的构建;（2）任务、教材、评估方法和反馈技术的开发和评估;（3）鼓励自主学习的工具的开发。在第一阶段，根据各种材料开发了评价标准数据库，并构建了描述性和分级线性指数。第二阶段着重于开发综合写作任务和调查反馈技术，以提高英语书面表现的质量。第三阶段，在语步分析结果的基础上建立了英语学术写作表达数据库。

In this study, an academic writing course for the Liberal Arts and General Education Program was designed, implementing an 'instructional-design method,' with the aim of improving the academic English writing skills of university students. The course was designed with the following elements in a series of stages: (1) construction of evaluation indices; (2) development and assessment of tasks, teaching materials, evaluation methods, and feedback techniques; (3) development of tools for encouraging autonomous learning. In Stage 1, a database of evaluation criteria was developed based on various materials, and descriptive and graded linear indices were constructed. Stage 2 focused on developing integrated writing tasks and investigating feedback techniques for improving the quality of written English performance. In Stage 3, a database of English academic writing expressions was developed on the basis of move analysis results.
