Focus on writing can range from a mere “backup” for grammar teaching to a major syllabus strand
in its own right. (Harmer, 2004: 31)

Product Approach
“Controlled Composition” or “Current-traditional Approach”
Writing seen as a linear process
Students write Teacher corrects and grades
![Page 5: Localizing second language writing pedagogy in a skills integrated](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587065011a28ab48378b4c2f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Process ApproachWriting is seen as a recursive process
Group work is emphasized
Students should be allowed to choose topics
The teacher is a facilitator who provides feedback to students
The social dimension of writing is emphasized
![Page 6: Localizing second language writing pedagogy in a skills integrated](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587065011a28ab48378b4c2f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Stages of the process approach
![Page 7: Localizing second language writing pedagogy in a skills integrated](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587065011a28ab48378b4c2f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Post-process framework
Balance between process and product (Reid, 2001)
Classroom community and participation of students in the construction of their writing and that of others (Reid, 2001)
Genre-based approaches as a complement to process writing (Hyland, 2003)
![Page 8: Localizing second language writing pedagogy in a skills integrated](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587065011a28ab48378b4c2f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Post-process era: recognition of the multiplicity of L2 writing theories and pedagogies (Matsuda, 2003)
Writing involves the mediation between the writer and the reader.
Audience and discourse community determine knowledge.

“Genres are forms of life, ways of being. They are frames for social action, the place where meaning is constructed.”
(Bazerman, 2006)

Provides students with systematic explanations of how texts exercise their communicative functions.
(Hyland, 2007)
Genre Approach
Goes beyond the planning-writing-revising framework
Focuses on the linguistic resources writers need to communicate effectively rather than merely on writing strategies
![Page 12: Localizing second language writing pedagogy in a skills integrated](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587065011a28ab48378b4c2f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Process-genre approach at CTJ
Process approach without losing sight of final product
Use of texts in different genres for analysis and as models
Awareness-raising of linguistic features of different genres
Explicit teaching of rhetorical patterns and conventions
All stages of the writing process (especially planning)

Tensions between writing approaches at CTJ and other schooling
![Page 22: Localizing second language writing pedagogy in a skills integrated](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587065011a28ab48378b4c2f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Teachers’ lack of familiarity and training in process writing
![Page 24: Localizing second language writing pedagogy in a skills integrated](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587065011a28ab48378b4c2f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Tensions in teacher and student perceptions of drafting
![Page 25: Localizing second language writing pedagogy in a skills integrated](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587065011a28ab48378b4c2f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Provision of consistent and effective feedback to students
![Page 26: Localizing second language writing pedagogy in a skills integrated](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587065011a28ab48378b4c2f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Tips for effective peer revision
![Page 27: Localizing second language writing pedagogy in a skills integrated](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587065011a28ab48378b4c2f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Model the activity by revising pieces of writing with the whole class.
Begin by having students give feedback on anonymous writing, as they do not feel comfortable ‘criticizing’ their peer’s writing. After a while, they see that feedback is not necessarily criticism.
Begin with short checklists and expand the tasks gradually, until they can be more open-ended.
![Page 28: Localizing second language writing pedagogy in a skills integrated](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587065011a28ab48378b4c2f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Vary the focus and the format of the peer review activity.
Use peer review sheets instead of having students write on their peer’s paper.
![Page 29: Localizing second language writing pedagogy in a skills integrated](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/587065011a28ab48378b4c2f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Be patient. Teaching students how to give and receive feedback takes time. They will be very reluctant in the beginning, as peer revision is not part of their educational experience. If the teacher is persistent, students eventually incorporate it as a natural step in a writing lesson.
