Illustration of the writing techniques and the writing process according to nation

Abstract EN

Herein, we intended to highlight some writing techniques that are proposed as a programme in Nation’s book Teaching ESL/EFL Reading and Writing (2009) to enhance the learners’ writing skill.

Practically, we limited our study to Nation’s view of writing as a process.

Accordingly, we analysed twenty-five (25) students’ written exam papers, randomly collected from different levels and varied modules for assessing to what extent students succeed or fail in implementing the steps of the writing process.

We adopted a mixed method (quantitative and qualitative).

We concluded that our informants almost failed to do so.

Accordingly, the frequency of mistakes was gradually decreasing while assessing the papers moving from the license to the master level.

However, some students were brilliant performing good pieces whatever the level is.
