Teaching Writing to Efl Prospective Teachers

English majors at the Faculty of Education need writing for many reasons. For one thing, as undergraduates they need to write term papers and articles in English. They are asked to answer essay questions in different subjects such as novel, drama, poetry, etc. For another, they need to take notes in English at lectures, talks and when reading. Finally, as prospective teachers they need to write lesson plans, summaries, reports, short pieces of narrative, simplification of a passage to suit learners of a certain level, etc. Hence, the aim of this book is developing the writing skills of the students integratively and interactively. By using this approach writing is not taught separately without an integration with the other language skills (listening, speaking, and reading); writing is taught in a productive way; writing is taught communicatively; and most of the aspects of writing are attended to.
