Process-Genre Model for Teaching Writing

Why Process-Genre Model? Allowing students to study the relationship between purpose and form for a particular genre Developing students’ awareness of different text-types and of the composing process. Unite form and content, ideas and organization, syntax and meaning, writing and revising, and above all, writing and thinking it is personal and relevant

The Guidelines First, adopt the role of assistant and guide and work closely with students to encourage them, offering positive and constructive advice (feedback) on what students have written. Arouse curiosity and self-confidence by matching student interests to the writing topic, and be sensitive to any individual differences that arise in the writing process.

The Guidelines Second, directly train students about writing strategies. If teachers demonstrate how prewriting activates the schemata and outline strategies for the drafting and revision processes, students will be more successful in writing compositions.

The Guidelines Third, include the listening, speaking, and reading skills in the writing class. Integrating the four language skills promotes the expansion of the students’ overall language competence. The process genre approach makes this feasible, as background material is read during prewriting activities, and speaking and listening occur during lectures and when giving or receiving feedback.

The Steps (1) preparation, (2) modeling and reinforcing, (3) planning, (4) joint constructing, (5) independent constructing, and (6) revising

1. Preparation The teacher begins preparing the students to write by defining a situation that will require a written text and placing it within a specific genre, such as a persuasive essay arguing for or against an issue of current interest. This activates the schemata and allows students to anticipate the structural features of this genre.

2. Modeling and reinforcing The teacher introduces a model of the genre and lets students consider the social purpose of the text, including who the audience will be. Next, the teacher discusses how the text is structured and how its organization develops to accomplish its purpose. The students may do some comparisons with other texts to reinforce what they have learned about the particular genre.

3. Planning In this step many meaningful activities activate the students’ schemata about the topic, including brainstorming, discussing, and reading associated material. The aim is to help the students develop an interest in the topic by relating it to their experience.

4. Joint constructing During this step, which will facilitate later independent composing, the teacher and students work together to begin writing a text. While doing so, the teacher uses the writing processes of brainstorming, drafting, and revising. The students contribute information and ideas, and the teacher writes the generated text on the blackboard or computer. The final draft provides a model for students to refer to when they work on their individual compositions.

6. Revising Students eventually will have a draft that will undergo final revision and editing. This does not have to be teacher-centred. Students may check, discuss, and evaluate their work with fellow students, as the teacher again guides and facilitates. The teacher may publish the students’ work, which will impart a sense of achievement and motivate the students to become better writers.
