Abstract

In recent years, there has been increasing attention paid to the importance of academic discourse training for non-English majors in postgraduate programs in China. However, the current state of expert-level academic discourse strategy training for these students still faces several challenges.By addressing these challenges and improving the quality of academic discourse strategy training for non-English major postgraduate students, China can better prepare its students for success in international academic circles. This will not only enhance their individual academic achievements but also contribute to the overall strength and reputation of Chinese academia in the global context.
