Introduction In this paper, I will write about teaching writing in classrooms of English as a foreign language. I will briefly mention the nature of writing and the writing approaches that have been developed so far.
My emphasis will be on a particular approach of writing, The Process Approach. I will explain this approach, its history and its implications in English and introduce two tasks for learners with high level of English competency that can be used in this approach.
Teaching Writing 2. Nature of Writing Writing is often associated with making use of graphic symbols, which is the basis of the production of speech. However, production of any written work requires not only using these symbols, but also devising sentences and ordering them in a cohesive way. The activity of writing itself is not expected to be accomplished in a spur of the moment, unless what we would be writing about is decided in our minds beforehand.
It is also likely that this activity is recurred many times by drafting and revising before its completion. However, there are many differences between speaking and writing that refutes this idea. Byrne differentiates between speech and writing in seven items. Although there are exceptions to these facts, due to the advancements in technology, I would like to mention a few of them. Speech occurs in a context without obscure references, whereas writing forms its own context in an explicit way.
But in writing, although there are cases such as instant messaging via modern communication devices and applications, in other cases, the reader is not always nearby and sometimes not known to the writer. The models and approaches of writing Raimes claims that the ways of teaching writing are not restricted to one way. In fact, as Harmer says, there is a lot of diversity regarding the teaching writing approaches. Before elaborating on these approaches, he suggests the teachers to make the decision whether they prefer giving their emphasis on process or product, on creative expression or on exploring a variety of genres.
Tribble also mentions the two major writing approaches, Process Approach and Genre Approach. Other approaches that the authors of these twenty-first century books i. However much similar they are both in theory and application, Raimes claims the existence of a fine line between them eventually causing them to overlap.
I intend to explain four of these above-mentioned approaches briefly and later expand on one specifically, Process Approach, and provide samples of tasks and activities related to that approach. Controlled and Guided Writing As it is explained earlier, there are slight differences between these two approaches. As to Raimes , the most distinguishing of them is about how much control the performer of the activity should implement to perform it.
Another factor is that in controlled writing activities, the answers are already set; hence, there is not much scope or expectation for creative expression. Moreover, these types of activities are mostly form-focused, whereas guided writing tends to be meaning-focused and give more emphasis on the process of composition. There are five types of activities that are used in controlled writing. Raimes categorizes them as 1.
Controlled Composition 2. Question and Answer 3. Sentence Combining 5. Parallel Writing. They are not necessarily designed to be following this certain sequence; however, as it follows the activities require more production to some extent on the part of learners. The first of them starts with introduction of model texts and the students are required to change some parts of it. Then, it goes on to introducing questions to be answered from close-ended to more open-ended ones.
In the last activities in this sequence, the sentences are combined and texts are rewritten, thus allowing more production. Genre Approach The main idea behind genre writing is to make students analyze as many as texts as they can, related to a specific genre before starting to produce their own works on that genre This approach is usually associated with the field of ESP English for Specific Purposes Nevertheless, the use of it in any English classroom is useful as well.

Rating details. More filters. Sort order. Good collection of stories. Reading this for a college class which I'm pretty sure the anthology was made for? Regardless, enjoyable to work with, good introduction to literary studies and a wide slew of mostly American authors. I don't normally bother reviewing my textbooks, but the short stories in this are really good so far. Murakami's "Birthday Girl" has to be the stand out so far.
A very good book to learn how to start writing and understanding what they read. It has classic short stories and poems from amazing authors and poets. It is good for literature classes.
