Abstract

In virtue of Bruner's "discovery learning", this paper explores the acquisition of English academic thesis writing from the aspects of language, culture and psychological cognition, etc. The author starts with the cultural characteristics of English to analyze how students autonomously acquire the culture in English countries, as well the vocabulary, norms and convention in professional fields during the process of learning writing academic papers. And the author also analyzes how students focus on developing intuitive thinking in the process of the acquisition. Through the autonomous cognition, students rearrange and optimize the acquired language culture, and renew cognitive structure by stimulating intrinsic motivation and reorganizing and extending internal knowledge structure. In this vein, students can combine thoughts and behaviors and also construct an output mode of special language in English academic paper. Therefore, students can acquire English academic thesis writing and meet the requirements of international academic writings.
