Teachers' Views on Using the Writing Process Approach to Improve ESL Learners' Writing Skills
Albesher, Khaled B.
International TESOL & Technology Journal, v17 n2 p76-95 Dec 2022
Despite intensive essay writing courses at Saudi universities, ESL students are unable to develop their English writing skills. Finding an appropriate teaching approach, such as the process approach, may help them improve their writing abilities and enable them to do so more successfully. This research aims to find out how and what Saudi ESL English language teachers think about using the process approach to writing instruction in the classroom. According to the study's findings, teaching and motivating students to write is critical by engaging them in prewriting activities, drafting, revising, and editing. The majority of participants thought that the student's writing process strategy helps students write critically and analytically. This is clear when students do activities and use methods that help them write in a critical way, like coming up with ideas together, talking with other students, collecting ideas, and making outlines.
