dc.description.abstract | It is commonly known that writing in a foreign language is one of the most difficult and sophisticated tasks that encounter language learners. In order to master such a complicated skill, students' writing needs to be guided by a set of strategies which enables them to write structured academic essays. Those strategies are embedded in the four writing stages: pre-writing, drafting, revising and editing. In other words, a successful accomplishment of such skill must be assured with some strategies through which students can improve their performance in writing. For fulfilling the purpose of this study, we opted for a descriptive approach. To gather data, we administered a questionnaire to 88 second year English as a foreign language students at Larbi Ben M'Hidi university to explore their use of writing strategies in essays. The data gathered from the questionnaire revealed that the majority of students go through drafting and revising. However, more than the half of students are unaware of the significant role of pre-writing and editing. Therefore, our study uncovers the recurrence of writing strategies within students' essays and rises their awareness of the importance of such strategies. | ar |
