Abstract:

The purpose of the following study is to review the literature on the topic and to present a pedagogical experience of integrating effective techniques for developing writing skills in English as a foreign language. The experiment was carried out with 24 eight grade students (experimental group) of the Maths and Science High school “Academician Ivan Gyuzelev” – Gabrovo provided with an intensive learning curriculum for English as a foreign language. The techniques which are applied in the experiment focus on the development of language knowledge (product writing) and teaching students to create written texts by drafting, reviewing, editing and redrafting (process writing). In addition to these, the analysis of the characteristics of an email text type (genre writing) was also used to evaluate the students’ comprehension. The review of literary sources and the presented pedagogical experiment are a part of a didactically experimental model for developing foreign language writing skills.
