Which approach to writing gives scope for learners to undergo different stages of writing in order to learn to write ?

Option 2 : Process Approach 

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 the process approach to writing gives scope for learners to undergo different stages of writing in order to learn to write.

• Product approach is a writing approach that focuses on the final product of the writing task in which students imitate a writing model text.
• The lexical approach focuses on developing learners’ proficiency with lexis, or word and word combinations. Lexis includes not only single words but also the word combinations that people store in their mental lexicons.

• Communicative Aapproach accentuates interaction as the means and the definitive objective of learning. Language learners in this approach learn and practice English through interaction with one another and the teacher.
