Process Writing for the Rest of Us: A Writing Foundation Course for CEFR A1-B2 Level Students
Get PDFapplication/pdfThe Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), and testing boards such as the Nihon Eigo Kentei Kyokai (Eiken) with its Test of English for Academic Purposes (TEAP), define the basic undergraduate level of English required for language and ‘global’ style courses as Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) B1 or B2. However, as more and more private universities are being forced to accept students with far lower levels of English, the idea of teaching academic or even creative writing courses to first year students at far lower CEFR levels is becoming impractical. Rather than having lower level learners just translate their own Japanese paragraphs, or regurgitate sentences from books or online translation sites, which are then corrected and effectively rewritten by teachers, I will outline an easy to implement process writing based foundation course. Firstly, this report gives a description of the context in which this course is being used, the level of the students, and the problems they face. This is followed by a brief explanation of the standard idea of process writing, the ‘Writing Recipe’, a student generated ‘Correction Guide’ checklist and its implementation in the classroom, and evidence of improvement based on a simple analysis of students’ writing. Finally, after discussion and conclusions, it also briefly notes how this ‘writing recipe’ has become a ‘first step’ in course integration within the Bunkyo English Communication Centre’s (BECC) lessons for the Global Communication Department (GCD).departmental bulletin pape
