Abstract This paper puts forth the need for further integration of research on writing-as-a-process in foreign language writing and teaching practices. Several problems are identified concerning the teaching and learning of writing skills, as most teachers attend to the product – its originality, clarity and correctness, and recent popular textbooks on French language and culture still focus on the product and rarely on the process. The extensive research on writing-as-a-process in both Francophone and North American applied linguistics for L1 and L2 does not seem to have had the same repercussions on foreign language teaching or material development as it did on L2 writing skills for ESL/EFL. Here, I propose an integrative approach to writing instruction comprising different findings in process writing, self- and peer-assessment and cross-cultural awareness. The design of a six-step approach stems from a recent book on the pedagogy of writing skills (Mesana-Alais, 2001) and shows how to explore and produce genre-based texts.

Development Of Language

The purpose of the following study is to review the literature on the topic and to present a pedagogical experience of integrating effective techniques for developing writing skills in English as a foreign language. The experiment was carried out with 24 eight grade students (experimental group) of the Maths and Science High school “Academician Ivan Gyuzelev” – Gabrovo provided with an intensive learning curriculum for English as a foreign language. The techniques which are applied in the experiment focus on the development of language knowledge (product writing) and teaching students to create written texts by drafting, reviewing, editing and redrafting (process writing). In addition to these, the analysis of the characteristics of an email text type (genre writing) was also used to evaluate the students’ comprehension. The review of literary sources and the presented pedagogical experiment are a part of a didactically experimental model for developing foreign language writing skills.
