Abstract:
This article provides a
comparative analysis of the
approaches (controlled-to-free,
free-writing, paragraph pattern,
grammar-syntax-organization,
communicative, process, genre,
creative writing, cooperative
writing) to teaching writing skills,
as proposed by Raimes and
Harmer. It starts by exploring the
essence of writing, focusing on
developing communicative writing
skills among high school students.
Then it examines each
classification in detail, providing
an overview of the approaches.
Following this, the approaches are
compared and contrasted to
identify both their differences and
similarities.
