This research reports a cross-sectional study on the syntactic complexity features of English writings of low- and intermediate-level English learners in three groups divided by grade level. Syntactic complexity is categorized into large-grained and fine-grained syntactic indices. TAASSC software was used to automatically identify and label the syntactic complexity parameters of English writing of primary and secondary school students, and the relationship between 19 syntactic indices and different grade bands was compared and analyzed. The study reveals that beginners typically rely on coordinate phrases, simple sentences, and existential sentences, while low- and intermediate-level learners tend to use subordinate structures. With the improvement of L2 proficiency, the proportion of post-modified nouns increases, and the influence of native language thinking gradually diminishes. Based on these findings, several suggestions are proposed for English syntactic teaching. Teachers can employ syntactic diversity instruction to deliberately train students in the use of more complex syntactic structures in their writing, which facilitates the enhancement of syntactic ability and linguistic awareness among elementary and secondary school students. %K 粗颗粒句法指标,细颗粒句法指标,句法复杂度,英语作文
