Findings from the analyses of data suggest that the content of each lesson be refined to provide a more stimulating and practical learning environment, that more attention be paid to enhance collaborative learning and community building, and that a framework be provided to get students to start early. The limitations of this study and its implications for future studies will be touched on as well.}, pages = {1--12}, title = {Towards Better Teaching of Theme Writing: Suggestions Drawn from the Student Survey and the Students’ Words of Advice}, volume = {24}, year = {2010} }
