How about if we followed this natural process in the classroom? What results would we see in the written texts our learners produce?
This video shows a process writing class in action, demonstrating how the natural process of formulating a text can be followed in the classroom and integrated with other skills. This example shows how the ‘process’ approach gives learners of all ages the tools to produce successful written work at curriculum and exam level, as well as a motivating and rewarding learning experience.
Part 1 shows all the key stages of a process writing lesson in action.
Part 2 examines the students’ reaction to the lesson, focusing on learning points and goals.

Structuring the argument
I think, the video has certainly focussed on a few significant ideas,especially about writing an argumentative essay but it has not specified ways on how to structure the argument with various claims and examples.I prefer to teach the learners all about various types of claims and supportive reasons from some good samples of writing before one actually proceeds to teaching them to write an argumentative essay in IELTS Academic Writing.
Overall, it is an excellent support tool for those who teach process writing.
Methodology
Hello,
Thanks for sharing the video. It shows that the teacher is well organized in his work and knows how to approach the lesson.
With regards to the students, I think they have a good foundation of basic English as most of them can quickly think of ideas and can make comments as soon as the teacher raises questions.
Having these good foundations from the students the lesson was smoothly done as what it is expected based on the objectives.
However, some classes do not have good English foundations and most of them find it difficult to brainstorm ideas or think ideas as quickly as possible.
What could be the best approach in dealing with teaching writing to the students?
Thanks.
