Abstract

This paper takes an ecological approach to looking at the teaching of undergraduate English majors, an approach that regards the whole process of teaching as a series of transmission and transformation of energy. The research indicates that the writing of bachelor's degree thesis is at the final stage of undergraduate study and is therefore on the basis of previous curriculum, from which it extracts energy. Consequently, it concludes that the accomplishment of bachelor's degree thesis of English majors depends on the whole process of undergraduate study, not just the thesis writing itself, and suggests to reform the curriculum, including re-evaluate "specialized knowledge" courses, strengthen the teaching of writing, and pay more attention to the cultivation of critical thinking and innovation of the students.
