dear fellow ESL teachers, Composition writing is often a difficult task for students especially if they lack the necessary vocabulary words to express their ideas. Many of them have great minds and yet the act of translating their thoughts in written form seems to be a problem. I have heard of the process approach to writing and i need enlightenment on this aspect. What are the basic tenets of this approach? How can the teacher and even the students benefit from this? How does it improve students' writing? Another is, do we say 'process writing'? A book I read on Children's Writing says that writing is in itself a process so it would be redundant to say PROCESS WRITING. It should be PROCESS APPROACH TO WRITING. Which is correct? Or are they both accepted in the field? Thank you for the information you will share. JAINA L.
