"exploiting The Reading-writing Relationship To Develop Writing Competence In Efl''

Authors : Bensemmane Faiza .

Abstract

The acquisition of writing competence is regarded by many practioners and researchers as the most problematic aim to achieve in a second/foreign language. In many ESL contexts (U.S., Canada etc.) where second language learners are exposed to language-rich environments outside the classroom, the W course is integrated into the R course as both share a common modality. In classroom activities that involve R, a large amount of input is provided so that learners can build their hypotheses about the target language. This input is then exploited by the teacher in W activities and students can capitalize on it to develop their W competence.
