Chapter 1 Introduction
This chapter is an overview of the whole study, which is composed of threeparts, the background of the study, the purpose and significance of the study aswell as the framework of the whole

1.1 The Background of the Study
With the increasing development of globalization, English as a secondlanguage is widely used. Consequently, higher requirements on Englishproficiency have been made, involving listening, speaking, reading and writing.As one of the basic language skills, English writing is an output activity ofEnglish learning. Writing not only embodies and measures the capacity of usinglanguage, but also accelerates the internalization of language (Hyland, 2005). Asa result, the importance of cultivating writing competence should beemphasized.According to College English Curriculum Requirements (2007) released bythe Ministry of
Education, specific requirements for undergraduates are made.However, these requirements are hard to meet owing to several reasons. Firstly,limited time and periods are arranged for writing. Being integrated in reading,separate writing courses are rarely organized. Secondly, no fixed teachingmaterials are provided for writing. Most of these materials combine writing withreading, but focusing less on writing. Thirdly, no fixed and appropriate teachingapproach is designed for writing. Most teachers spend much time in teachingmainly in a traditional way, neglecting guiding students to learn how to write.Lastly, the learning atmosphere is not attractive enough. Most writing classeslack interaction, which may lead to students’ low motivation in writing. As aresult, in college English tests, such as CET-4, students’ performance in writingis not satisfying. In view of this situation, college English teaching needs to beimproved.

The awarenessof Interaction Language Teaching provides language teaching with a newperspective.

Consequently, the purpose of this study is to cope with thefollowing three questions: (1) What is the current situation of college Englishwriting class? (2) After Interactive Language Teaching being applied to college English cooperative writing, what changes do students have in writing class? (3)What effect does Interactive Language Teaching have on the writingperformance of college students?The significance of the study can be divided into two aspects.For one thing, based on Constructive Learning Theory, HumanismLearning Theory and Cooperative Learning, Interactive Language Teaching,which emphasizes cooperative learning, is beneficial to cultivating students to beactive constructors. For another thing, relaxing, democratic and interactivelearning atmosphere can be created by means of Interactive Language Teaching.Therefore, in this study, Interactive Language Teaching is applied in collegeEnglish cooperative writing.
