Abstract
This study is an attempt to figure out the role that note-taking technique plays in enhancing students' writing skill. since the majority of the students encounter many difficulties in writing on one hand and cannot remember all the new words and concepts they receive while studying on the other hand. This study embraces two questionnaires that were addressed to EFL teachers and learners at Larbi Ben M'Hidi university for the sake of knowing their attitudes that helped in answering the research questions and approving or disapproving the hypothesis of the research. The students' questionnaire was given to 80 students randomly chosen first year LMD students at the english department, and the teachers' questionnaire was addressed to 20 teachers out of 39 teachers. The results obtained revealed that note-taking plays a prominent role in helping the learners to memorize and understand lecture contents when the students are required to use some note-taking strategies to copy down their lectures. Thus, the hypothesis has been confirmed through the data obtained from the analysis of both questionnaires. In the light of the results attained, teachers are advised to guide their students to use appropriate strategies of note-taking that would aid in boosting their writing abilities.
