Discourse Awareness And Efl Students’ Writing Effectiveness

Authors : Setrallah Ahlem .

Abstract

Writing is mainly a process of interaction between the writer and the reader. This interaction is often determined by a specific context which leads both the writer and the reader to select specific register, adopt a specific voice and interpret the meaning of the text accordingly. To clarify this idea, let us consider the following writing activities and see how they can help student writers be aware of discourse. Studying a model text. Peer editing where one peer is a writer and another peer responds as a reader. These writing activities are often used by teachers to make student writers aware of how discourse functions, how to use discourse to write effectively and what factors can determine how discourse is used.
