This document outlines the writing process project approach for teaching writing to English language learners. It describes the five phases of the writing process: prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing. During prewriting, students brainstorm ideas in groups and create outlines. In drafting, they write initial versions and provide peer feedback. Revising involves reworking based on this feedback. Editing focuses on mechanics. Finally, publishing shares the final products. Using this collaborative process breaks writing into manageable parts and strengthens language skills through peer interactions and feedback.
Presentation materials design created by Shama Kalam Siddiqui Shama Siddiqui
This presentation helps to understand the types of materials for ESL and presents a framework from Brown on Adopting, Developing and Adapting Materials for the language teaching context. Educators would also get a framework for the production of new materials and the 6 stages towards creating materials for learners:
1. Identification of need for materials
2. Exploration of need
3. Contextual realization of materials
4. Pedagogical realization of materials
5. Production of materials
* Student use of materials
6. Evaluation of materials against agreed objectives

Discussions, at their best, challenge students to develop critical thinking skills: to weigh evidence, test propositions, and reach their own conclusions. While being knowledgeable about the topic under discussion is important for leading meaningful discussions, creating an environment in which students feel comfortable engaging with ideas is even more so.

The growing recognition within current educational literature that student engagement and motivation are essential to successful learning (Coates, 2006; Zepke and Leach, 2010) supports a student-centred approach to Teaching and Learning. Cognitive and more particularly constructivist views of student learning suggest that learners’ active and independent/ interdependent involvement in their own learning increases motivation to learn (Raya and Lamb, 2008; Hoidn and Kärkkäinen, 2014) and develops their autonomy (Benson, 2011). Furthermore, the ability to influence one’s own learning has been associated with improved academic performance (Andrade and Valtcheva, 2009; Ramsden, 2003). The shift to a more student-centred curriculum and the need to align assessment with Learning and Teaching practices (Biggs, 2003) has prompted the development of new approaches to assessment in all sectors of education, including higher education. Assessment for and as learning approaches recognise the role of assessment as a vehicle for learning as well as a means of measuring achievement (Gardner, 2012; Nicol and MacFarlane-Dick, 2006). The active use of assessment in learning necessitates engagement both within and outside the classroom.
This paper will examine the use of assessment for and as learning as a means of fostering learner engagement both in and out of the classroom, based on the qualitative analysis of undergraduate students' learning logs as well as peer individual and group feedback. It will conclude with a consideration of the assessment design principles associated with this approach, and its contribution to the development of learner autonomy and engagement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
1. An Overview of The
Writing Process
Project
Georgetown University Center for Language Education and
Development
2. What is a Writing
Process Project?
• A writing process project is a
cooperative effort among students in
groups or pairs in which they give
each other feedback at each stage of
the writing process.
Georgetown University Center
for Language Education and
3. How does writing process help
English language learners?
• Because the process approach to
teaching writing breaks the complex
process of composing into small
parts, it assists language learners
and others with managing the task of
writing.
Georgetown University Center
for Language Education and
4. How does writing process help
English language learners?
• Also, because students are using academic English
to give each other feedback, they are
strengthening their speaking and listening skills as
well as their overall language competency related
to their writing topic.
Georgetown University Center for Language Education and
Development
5. What are the steps in
Process Writing?
• Five phases of writing:
• 1) Prewriting
• 2) Drafting
• 3) Revising
• 4) Editing
• 5) Publishing
Georgetown University Center for Language Education and
Development
6. 1) Prewriting
• Prewriting is the phase when a writer
works to establish a topic and gather
information concerning the topic.
• In prewriting a writer may discuss
ideas with a partner, make a cluster
or simply brainstorm some ideas.
Georgetown University Center for Language Education and
Development
7. 1) Prewriting: Topic
• The teacher should provide a topic such as “my
favorite holiday” or another appropriate prompt.
• There are a wide variety of topics appropriate for
different levels of English learners, from
descriptive writing to persuasive.
Georgetown University Center for Language Education and
Development
8. 1) Prewriting: Brainstorming
• Brainstorm ideas with a partner or
small group and receive feedback.
Georgetown University Center
for Language Education and
9. 1) Prewriting: Outlines
• After the brainstorming
session, students should make an
outline, which will also be shared with
the group or partner for feedback.
Georgetown University Center
for Language Education and
10. 2) Drafting
• Students should write a first
draft, following the outline that organized
their initial ideas.
Georgetown University Center for Language Education and
Development
11. Drafting – Feedback
• Students share their drafts, first sharing
any special questions or concerns, by
reading aloud to their partner or group.
• Other group members provide feedback
and suggestions.
Georgetown University Center for Language Education and
Development
12. 3) Revising
• After the first draft is shared, the group
or partner should help the writer to revise
his work.
• Revision is the phase when a writer works
to make sure the message is as clear as
possible, rearranging ideas and perhaps
changing words and sentences.
•
Georgetown University Center for Language Education and
Development
13. 3) Revising
• Of course the teacher will have to
help the class decide what the
components are of a good
essay/story/poem/paragraph or
whatever the focus of the task is.
• This should help students provide
meaningful feedback.
Georgetown University Center
for Language Education and
14. 4) Editing
• After students have prepared a second
draft based on the revision stage, the
next step is to EDIT the work.
• The editing phase is dedicated to
correcting mechanics, spelling, and
punctuation.
Georgetown University Center for Language Education and
Development
15. 4) Editing
• In their groups/pairs, students share
(revised) stories for feedback on
mechanics appropriate to their level.
• Students edit their work based on
the feedback they receive.
Georgetown University Center
for Language Education and
16. 4) Editing
• The editing stage is another
opportunity for the teacher to
review grammar and mechanics.
Georgetown University Center
for Language Education and
17. 5) Publishing
• Finally, in the publishing phase, the writer
shares the final product with others.
• Class publication provides group
motivation, and can be part of the class
collaborative discussion.
Georgetown University Center for Language Education and
Development
18. 5) Publishing
• Publishing can be as simple as posting
the papers in the hallway or
collecting them to make a “book”.
• Papers could be published on the
internet.

19. Can the writing process
work with a large class?
• Yes – it works well. The teacher must
be available and circulate to oversee
group work and assist.

20. Writing process and
timing
• Meeting only weekly with students is
an advantage in this model because
students have plenty of time to
complete their assigned writing or
editing between sessions.
