Approaches to Teaching of Writing

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the approaches to teaching of writing. This study reveals a structured approach to teaching writing in English. It involves pre-writing, organizing, writing, evaluating, revising, and sharing stages. This approach is highly beneficial for teaching writing skills by providing specific guidelines to students that they need to follow in each stage. In this paper, I first briefly discuss the power-s approach to teaching writing in English, and then, I present how this approach can be practically implemented in the EFL writing classroom in the Thai context.
