Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, 2012, vol. 1

Abstract: This paper presents a real account of what L2 writers do when they write. In Pakistan approach to teaching writing to students is always affected by unawareness of the writing processes of the students. This paper also attempts to address the writing processes of student writers considering some major problems of writing pedagogy in Pakistan: a heavy emphasis on linguistic accuracy; overlooking the development of students’ writing ability; over-emphasis on the “product†; a lack of input of genre knowledge; and a lack of variety of assessment. Based on the discussion of current approaches to teaching writing, implications are introduced to improve writing instruction as well as enhance effective learning in Pakistani context.
