>Can a good text book be recommended for 2nd year English majors writing
>(for their 2nd term) that also has a teacher's book. To cover business &
>thesis writing.

Ah no but there were books on such things in the FLTRP bookshop, 3rd Ring
NW corner , Beijing. I think I bought one written by an Australian 'for
Chinese students at Tsinghua' but I didn't bring it with me.
One or two list members teach at BFSU (next door), they could have a look
and get ISBN numbers :-)

I used "Advanced Writing for Juniors" FLTRP 2001, which had lots of styles
of writing, expository , comparison etcetc and samples of good writing.
but no teacher's book.. Juniors, Law/Anthro/English majors. but it didn't
directly offer writing exercises (from memory)

Stephen King's little book, On Writing, is/was available from various
barrows around BJ uni gateways, :-) 8rmb :-)

(teach) Danish exams

On a recent program on the BBC, it was reported that students taking exams in Denmark will be given the exam questions in advance. Students can bring their laptops to the exam, surf for the answers, plus cut & paste.

The education minister said he wanted students to be up with technology & this is closer to a real world situation.



Would it happen in China?
