Using Process Writing in the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language
Online Submission, Revista Caribeña de Investigación Educativa v4 n1 p49-61 2020
Writing is, at times, neglected by both teachers and students. Far too often, courses involve an emphasis on speaking skills and direct grammar instruction. These courses, however, pay little attention to writing skills and, most specifically, academic writing. In fact, while addressing writing, teachers may have different approaches, one of which is process writing. The current study explores the implementation of process writing as a tool for developing students' writing skills in the context of paragraph writing. Students went through four lessons, and a pretest-posttest format was used to conduct research and evaluate data. Action Research was the paradigm used to structure this study. Lastly, the researchers concluded that process writing is conducive to stronger writing skills resulting in more organized and structured paragraphs.
