This quasi-experimental study evaluated the efficacy of the Task-driven Academic Writing Model (TDAW)---an approach integrating task-based language teaching with multi-modal resources (mind maps, data visualization, poster presentations, textual materials)---in enhancing L2 academic writing. Over a 16-week intervention, 74 Chinese eleventh-grade students (mean age=16.5) participated, with an experimental group (n=38) receiving TDAW instruction and a control group (n=36) following traditional grammar-template methods. Writing quality was operationalized using the Academic Writing Ability Scale (AWAS, κ=0.87), assessing six dimensions: grammatical accuracy, lexical complexity, academic register, content richness, organizational logic, and textual coherence. Quantitative results indicated that the experimental group achieved significant improvements.
