This Project reviewed a total of 10 features that have been examined and selected 4 major problematic features to be incorporated into the pedogogical practice: rhetorical/text organization, characters of thesis statements, use of support/citation and quotation, expression of personal voices. The Project gives the justifications of the selection of these four features and offered specific teaching suggestions to writing teachers about how to teach them explicitly to Chinese EFL students.enAvailable to the World Wide Webtextual featuresacademic writingChinese EFL studentsrhetorical/text organizationcharacters of thesis statementuse of supportexpression of personal voiceproject
