Abstract

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.
