Teaching Writing Through Graphic Organizers. EFL Writing

      Аннотация: According to Chastain (1988, p. 244), "writing is a basic communication skill and a unique advantage in the process of learning a second language”. It can be said that it is one of the most important parts of learning a language which has been ignored for many years, thus it is common for learners in today's educational scheme to hate or even avoid the writing activities. Generally speaking, learning to write is exclusively challenging. It is very vital to be able to express yourself fine. Our writings occasionally lead us; for instance, in proposing for a job we need to provide a C.V. or at times we need to write a cover letter for an article, or to send e-mails to people we don’t really know. Poor writing is a kind of imperfection, it might cause misunderstanding due to misinterpret of sentences and words. We need to write well for the wide range of purposes: for translating our ideas and thoughts in the form of documents, in research studies for summarizing our work in an informative and useful manner. The most essential reason might be that while writing we actually send message to our readers about our identities.
