论大学生写作能力写作能力是对自己所积累的信息进行选择、提取、加工、改造并将之形成为书面文字的能力。积累是写作的基础，积累越厚实，写作就越有基础，文章就能根深叶茂开奇葩。没有积累，胸无点墨，怎么也不会写出作文来的。写作能力是每个大学生必须具备的能力。从目前高校整体情况上看，大学生的写作能力较为欠缺。一、大学生应用文写作能力的定义那么，大学生的写作能力究竟是指什么呢？叶圣陶先生曾经说过，“大学毕业生不一定能写小说诗歌，但是一定要写工作和生活中实用的文章，而且非写得既通顺又扎实不可。”对于大学生的写作能力应包含什么，可能有多种理解，但从叶圣陶先生的谈话中，我认为：大学生写作能力应包括应用写作能力和文学写作能力，而前者是必须的，后者是“不一定”要具备，能具备则更好。众所周知，对于大学生来说，是要写毕业论文的，我认为写作论文的能力可以包含在应用写作能力之中。大学生写作能力的体现，也往往是在撰写毕业论文中集中体现出来的。本科毕业论文无论是对于学生个人还是对于院系和学校来说，都是十分重要的。如何提高本科毕业论文的质量和水平，就成为教育行政部门和高校都很重视的一个重要课题。如何提高大学生的写作能力的问题必须得到社会的广泛关注，并且提出对策去实施解决。二、造成大学生应用文写作困境的原因：（一）大学写作课开设结构不合理。就目前中国多数高校的学科设置来看，除了中文专业会系统开设写作的系列课程外，其他专业的学生都只开设了普及性的《大学语文》课。学生写作能力的提高是一项艰巨复杂的任务，而我们的课程设置仅把这一任务交给了大学语文教师，可大学语文教师既要在有限课时时间内普及相关经典名著知识，又要适度提高学生的鉴赏能力，且要教会学生写作规律并提高写作能力，任务之重实难完成。（二）对实用写作的普遍性不重视。“大学语文”教育已经被严重地“边缘化”。目前对中国语文的态度淡漠，而是呈现出全民学英语的大好势头。中小学如此，大学更是如此。对我们的母语中国语文，在大学反而被漠视，没有相关的课程的设置，没有系统的学习实践训练。这其实是国人的一种偏见。应用写作有它自身的规律和方法。一个人学问很大，会写小说、诗歌、戏剧等，但如果不晓得应用文写作的特点和方法，他就写不好应用文。（三）部分大学生学习态度不端正。很多非中文专业的大学生对写作的学习和训练都只是集中在《大学语文》这一门课上，大部分学生只愿意被动地接受大学语文老师所讲授的文学经典故事，而对于需要学生动手动脑去写的作文，却是尽可能应付差事，这样势必不能让大学生的写作水平有所提高。（四）教师的实践性教学不强。学生写作能力的提高是一项艰巨复杂的任务，但在教学中有不少教师过多注重理论知识，实践性教学环节却往往被忽视。理论讲了一大堆，但是实践却几乎没有，训练也少得可怜。阅读与写作都需要很强的实践操作，学习理论固然必不可少，但是阅读方法和写作技巧的掌握才是最重要的。由于以上的原因，我们的大学生的写作水平着实令人堪忧，那么如何走出这一困境，笔者提出一些建议，希望能对大学生写作水平的提高有所帮助。三、提高大学生应用写作能力的对策（一）把《应用写作》课设置为大学生的必
