Abstract

Under the framework of connectionism, the present research designed a new syllabus - a reading-writing project for EFL students in a Chinese university. The project established a net for connection: reading materials as input units, self-reflection and peer discussion as hidden units, and writing as learners' output units. Over a semester, the quasi-experimental study concludes that the reading-writing project based on connectionism can motivate students to engage in writing and promote their writing performance.
