Abstract

Based on the Scaffolding Process proposed by Wood et al., this paper attempts to study how effective scaffolding can help business English majors achieve study objectives in the International Business Correspondence Course in a Chinese vocational college. Six functions of the scaffolding process are elaborated and then used as guidelines in the design and practice of a teaching unit of this course. Finally, students’ comments and assessments of this course are collected as an indication of the effectiveness of the scaffolding process in teaching design, which suggests that the scaffolding process works in a positive way to raise the students’ overall satisfaction, acquisition of knowledge, skills, motivation, and examination scores in this course.
