Read the【Case Reflection】in this section and answer the following questions:
An experienced teacher of writing in English, who had been abroad for further study in the United Kingdom, established an elective course in her school to improve student writing skills. A total of 36 junior students were selected to attend the writing course.
The teacher presented students with her English diaries and writing, explained her own experience and what she had learnt through writing, and then asked the students to write by imitating what she had written. Gradually, students became able to write short passages in a style similar to hers. However, a semester later, the teacher was surprised to find only limited improvement in the students' writing skills.
In your opinion, what are the reasons for the limited effect of the teacher's writing course?
