Learning writing skills is a challenging task for foreign language learners.

This challenge stems from the fact that students require various skills and knowledge while writing.

They need, for instance, enough vocabulary, grammar knowledge, cohesion devices, and coherent paragraphs.

Students also require background knowledge about the subject of the writing task.

Therefore, they create their ideas accordingly.

To fulfill these goals and meet the challenges, an approach that meets the written task requirement and improves the students' abilities is necessary.

This study investigates the TBLT approach in developing Algerian third-year EFL students' writing performance at Tebessa University.

The focus is on finding out the effect and feasibility of using the TBLT approach in English language teaching classrooms.

The data were collected experimentally through pre-test and post-test after the experimental group received TBLT treatment for six weeks.

A sample compromised two groups (an experimental group and a control group), i.

e.

, the entire population(64 students) in our case took part in the study.

After analysing the pre-test and the post-test results, the findings revealed that TBLT has successfully developed EFL learners' writing performance.
