Teaching writing to English second language learners

Learning to write is a complex process that students
struggle with, particularly those studying through the medium
of English as a second language. This research, report is an
exploration of how the sub-skills of writing are dealt with
from differing theoretical perspectives. Research in the
teaching of writing has been increasingly student-centred
and focuses attention on writing as a recursive process in
which planning, structuring, reading, revising and editing
take place throughout the whole task. In line with this
. tendency, the research report aims to evolve an approach to
the teaching of writing which synthesises the strengths of
current paradigms for the teaching of writing. The synthesis
approach is applied to an analysis of TELIP (Teachers'
English Language Improvement Programme) writing materials in
an attempt to determine its effectiveness as an analytic
tool.
