Summary

Introduction

Thesis writing can be regarded as a kind of exploring activity, which does well for cultivating students’ writing ability, and for students’ forming creative thinking so as to apply what they have learned in practice through connecting theory to practice. In the process of thesis writing, students can choose an aspect of translation theory to analyze, or to find a point for penetration by connecting theory with practice. They enjoy freedom to a large extent. According to the questionnaire survey having been done by the research group of “Application of Divergent Thinking in English Thesis Writing Teaching” (Project No 1412001), 91% of English teachers in Baoding University think the topics chosen on translation by the students are not creative, and only 1% of the students think their topic selections are appropriate and needn’t be changed. Theses combining divergent thinking and English thesis writing teaching are rarely few. The study aims at applying divergent thinking in English thesis writing teaching, trying to find ways of choosing good topics in thesis writing
