7. Teaching writing approaches

8. Approaches to teaching writing
• two major approaches:
1. a product-based
approach: Focuses on the
final product
2. a Process-based
approach: Focuses on the
process of writing

9. Product
approach
This is a traditional approach, in
which students are encouraged to
mimic(imitate, copy) a model text,
which is usually presented and
analyzed at an early stage.

10. The product-
based
approach
• Focuses on the accuracy of the final product
• Grammar, spelling, punctuation and
capitalization are accurate
• Bottom-up approach (accuracy of various
language skills - letters, words, sentences,
paragraphs- is the focus)

11. Product
approach
Organization of ideas more important
than the ideas itself
Learners are given a series of
activities that are small steps to
complete before writing a whole text
Emphasizes on End product

12. Stages of product approach
Stage 1
Model texts
stage 2
controlled writing
stage 3
Organization of
ideas
stage 4
End result of the
learning process

13. Model Text
Model text are read , and then pictures of the genre are highlighted.

14. Controlled writing
This consist of controlled practice of the
highlighted features, usually in isolation

15. Organization
of ideas
• This stage can be said as the
most essential part in writing an
essay because it focuses on the
organization of the ideas.

16. End result of the
learning process
The end result of the learning process.
Student choose from a choice of comparable
writing tasks.

17. Process approach of writing

18. Process approach
• Process approaches to writing tend to
focus more on the varied classroom
activities which promote the development
of language use:
 brainstorming,
group discussion,
re-writing.
• Such an approach can have any number
of stages, though a typical sequence of
activities could proceed as follows:

19. Stages
• Stage 1
Generating ideas by brainstorming and
discussion: The teacher remains in the
background during this phase, only providing
language support if required, so as not inhibiting
students in the production of ideas.
• Stage 2
Students extend ideas into note form, and judge
quality and usefulness of ideas.

20. Stages
Stage 3
Students organize ideas into a mind map,
spider gram, or linear form. This stage helps
to make the (hierarchical) relationship of
ideas more immediately obvious, which
helps students with the structure of their
texts.
Stage 4
Students write the first draft. This is done
in class and frequently in pairs or groups.

21. Stages
Stage 5
Drafts are exchanged, so that students become the readers
of each other's work.
By responding as readers, students develop an awareness
of the fact that a writer is producing something to be read
by someone else, and thus can improve their own drafts.
Stage 6
Drafts are returned and improvements are made based
upon peer feedback.

22. Stages
•Stage 7
A final draft is written.
•Stage 8
Students once again exchange and
read each other's work and perhaps
even write a response or reply.

23. A summary of the
differences
 Process writing
 text as a resource for comparison
 ideas as starting point
 more than one draft
 more global, focus on purpose, theme, text
type, i.e., reader is emphasized
 collaborative
 emphasis on creative process
 Product writing
 imitate model text
 organization of ideas more important than
ideas themselves
 one draft
 features highlighted including controlled
practice of those features
 individual
 emphasis on end product

25. Conclusion
Today we learn about basically two popular, yet very
different, approaches of writing
Process approach and product approach
We also learn about stages of these two approaches.
It should be said at the beginning that there is not
necessarily any 'right' or 'best' way to teach writing skills.
The best practice in any situation will depend on the type of
student, the text type being studied, the school system and
many other factors.
