Teaching Writing: From Theory to Practice

Writing is a complex discovery process which necessitates enough instruction, practice, and experience. EFL teachers are, then, in need of a systematic approach with clear principles to help their learners fully develop this skill. The aim of this paper was three-fold. First, a brief theoretical overview of writing was given. Second, some pedagogical implications related to the teaching of this skill were listed. Finally, a detailed lesson plan was suggested. The plan can be adapted to fit the objectives EFL teachers seek to achieve.
