Özet:
Writing skill has been considered to be
difficult for EFL learners in the performance of the composition in the
language teaching and learning context (Richard, 1990). With the development of
genre studies, developing EFL learners’ generic competence is viewed as the
ultimate goal in the process of teaching and learning genres in academic,
institutional, and professional settings (e.g., Swales, 1990,2004; Candlin,
1999, 2002; Bhatia, 1999, 2004). To attain the goal, this study attempts to
adopt genre approach to develop EFL learners’ generic competence in writing.
The main purpose of the present quasi-experimental study is to investigate the
effects of three modes of developments (product, process, and genre-based) on
EFL learners ‘accuracy, fluency, and complexity in written task production. to
this end, 60 learners of English at intermediate level were chosen randomly as
the participants of the study and assigned into three groups of experimental
product, process, and genre groups. A written narrative task was employed to
collect data from the participants. One-way ANCOVA was employed as the statistical
means of analysis. The results were significant in the measure of accuracy and
fluency but not in the performance of three groups in terms of complexity
regarding S-nodes in narrative written production task.
