摘　　要：写作课在美国高校普遍是必修性的、制度化的本科课程。基于以耶鲁大学为案例的研究发现:在理念与制度层面,耶鲁对写作课的价值认同已超越了知识传授与技能培训而达至思维和品质的塑造层面;在课程与教学层面,耶鲁创设了多元多层、小班研讨的写作课程体系;在支持与服务层面,耶鲁构建了以"写作中心"为平台的"他助"体系和以"学生出版物"为基地的"自助"体系,从而为写作教育保驾护航。从一流大学的经验来看,写作课或可作为建设一流本科教育的实质性抓手之一。Writing courses are usually compulsory and institutionalized as undergraduate courses in American universities. Based on the case study of Yale University, this paper finds that in the aspect of idea and institution, writing courses in Yale emphasize the cultivation of thinking beyond knowledge transmitting and skill training.In the aspect of curriculum and teaching, Yale creates a multi-level and small class seminar-based writing course system for writing education. In the aspect of support and service, Yale constructs a holistic support system based on "writing center" and "student publications", the former is the "helping" system, and the latter is a "selfhelp" system. According to the experiences of world-class universities, writing course might be an effective approach for the construction of world-class undergraduate education.
