Introduction In order to be able to select
and use appropriate procedures and materials, as well as assess their
learners’ needs and progress, teachers need to be clear regarding the
desirable outcomes of a writing programme and the processes involved in good
writing. In Part 1, I look at two typical examples of student writing and
identify common problems. In Part 2, I outline the two aspects of good
writing: product and process. In Part 3, I present a
framework for teaching writing skills, as well as teaching procedures and
materials. |

Relevant details This
article is based on a seminar, sponsored by Oxford University Press, which I
gave to Omiros Language Schools
teachers in January 1998, as well as handouts for RSA/Cambridge Diploma and
Certificate sessions I designed between 1994 and 1999. It was originally
published in three parts in ELT News
133, 134 & 135 (March, April & May 2000). In this version (February
2002) I have revised the diagram depicting the cycle of procedures. |
