A suggested program based on 7E Instructional Model and AWE Systems to Develop Faculty of Education ESP Students' Academic Writing Skills

Abstract

The aim of the current research was to investigate the effect of a suggested program based on 7E instructional model and AWE systems on developing faculty of education ESP students' academic writing skills. The design of the present research was a pre-post experimental group. The participants of the research were thirty second year, ESP students enrolled in English Chemistry, Biology and Science sections at Faculty of Education, University of Sadat City. They were taught using the suggested program based on 7E instructional model and AWE systems. The instrument of the research was an ESP academic writing test with a rating scale for assessing the participants' academic writing skills. The test was applied to the participants of the research before implementing the suggested program to measure their level in academic writing skills. Then, it was re-applied after the implementation of the suggested program. Results of the research have revealed that second year, faculty of education ESP students' academic writing skills were developed after the implementation of the suggested program. Accordingly, the suggested program based on 7E instructional model and AWE systems was found to have a positive effect on developing faculty of education ESP students' academic writing skills.
