The Process of Writing in Educational Settings (EFL Students of English Language)

Abstract

Writing is one of the most important skills of teaching and learning a particular language, in this case English. Teaching writing is a hard task which can often be frustrating. Therefore, the teacher must use different writing strategies and techniques in order to create a stress-free and motivated writing classroom. In fact, by writing students improve their way of thinking day-after-day by practice; their writing will seem more successful as Bean (2000:17) claims: “good thinking provides good writing”.
