Abstract

With the rapid development of digital technology, especially with the arrival of the digital age, the application of digital tools and resources in the field of education has become increasingly widespread. College English writing teaching has also been significantly affected, as traditional teaching models and methods are gradually facing new challenges and opportunities. This research, based on the background of the digital age, takes non-English major undergraduates at University of Sanya as the research object. Through real teaching practice, it explores the application of digital technology in college English writing teaching, analyzes its impacts and practical effects, and proposes some improvement measures and development directions for English writing teaching. According to the analysis of practical cases, the aim is to provide some reference and insights for improving the writing ability of non-English major undergraduates and stimulating teaching effectiveness.
