Teaching process writing in an online environment
Abstract
This reflective practice paper offers some insights into teaching an
interdisciplinary academic writing course aimed at promoting process
writing. The study reflects on students’ acquisition of writing skills
and the teacher’s support practices in a digital writing environment. It
presents writers’ experiences related to various stages of process writing,
their growing awareness of becoming good writers but also the constant
struggle with common writing problems. Preconceived attitudes towards
the process of writing provide further obstacles for students to overcome
in an interdisciplinary and intercultural learning environment. A writer
often overcomes the barriers to effective writing by acquiring strategies for
independent, self-directed learning. Course experiences may help teachers
develop efficient writing courses for the new language learning environments
and thus to promote students’ academic writing competence.
