China’s recent curriculum reform of English as a
foreign language programs has shifted toward an integration
of language abilities and transferable skills such as
intercultural skills. This study is part of an internal evaluation
project that examines the implementation and impact
of a newly reformed writing course at one of China’s top
foreign studies universities. The study explores students’
acceptance and learning experiences of the course with
specific focus on reform features. Applying a mixed
methods approach, the study drew quantitative data from
the student survey and test scores, and qualitative data from
interviews and reflexive journals. Mixed analyses confirmed
the design and suitability of the course. Findings
indicated high appreciation of the course, statistically significant
increase in test scores, and moderate improvement
on intercultural skill
