Process – based Writing Strategy : Concept, Problems, and Solutions

Abstract

English is an internationally recognized language that has served as a lingua franca for communication, economic activities, trade, and the dissemination of knowledge through academic writing worldwide. While English writing is a productive skill, it differs from speaking in that it necessitates accurate grammar to expound writers' ideas and enhance readers' comprehension effectively. Therefore, writing is recognized as the most difficult skill and the complexity of writing often results in English language learners developing a persistently negative attitude towards this skill.

This article entitled “Process–based Writing Strategy: Concept, Problems, and Solutions” was written to: 1) to collect conceptual principles of process-based writing strategies; 2) to examine English writing problems of Thai learners, and; 3) to propose solutions for Thai English language learners using Process-based writing strategies. This article will provide readers with perspective and guidelines for enhancing their English writing skills as learners or users of the language in professional settings. Additionally, it aims to provide English language teachers with practical insights to further develop their students' English writing abilities.
