Writing is one of the language skills which refers to the graphical representation of speech sounds. There are different approaches to writing and the 'Process Approach' is one of them.

• In the process approach, learners undergo stages for developing a good write-up. It focuses on the steps involved in creating a unique/creative piece of writing and emphasizes revising, editing, and producing a text before coming up with the final text. 

Stages involved in the process approach to writing are:

• The process approach initially involves a brainstorming session where all concerned persons sit together, think about the ways how the task can be achieved, list down all failure possibilities, and create a pathway.
• Then comes the process of outlining. It is an activity to lay down a draft or a framework so that an initial holistic picture could be visible for everyone to visualize.
• Next comes the process of revising what has been drafted and removing errors if any so that there will be no chance that the process will fail.
• Next comes proofreading, it is a careful word by word or line by line review of the first draft to make sure that everything is as it should be.
• Finally, the final draft is written to make the process look presentable or to optimize maximum output/achievement.

Hence, it could be concluded that Process Approach to writing involves ‘Brainstorming, Outlining, Drafting, Revising, Proof-reading and writing the final draft'.
