Motivating Students to Adopt the Process Approach to Writing in an EFL Setting

Abstract

In this research, our core purpose is to make students more aware and motivated to adopt the process pproach to develop their aptitude in writing. The aim is to check whether the students’ writing production would be improved when they adopt the process approach. Students should be made aware of the writing process as an extensive act which entails different stages and not as a product of thoughts and accurate use of grammar and vocabulary. The use of the process approach leads to the effective use of writing techniques that permit them to mind up what to write, how to write, and evaluate written productions. It is by the means of two questionnaires given to both teachers of written expression and Second Year students from the Department of Languages at Mila University that we investigated our hypothesis. The findings gathered during this study confirm the set hypothesis that students demonstrate more motivation to write via adopting the process approach. The use of this approach proved to increase English Learners’ motivation and to improve their written productions at the same time
