MODERN APPROACHES TO TEACH WRITING IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Approaches to teaching writing in a foreign language are closely related to research in the field of discourse since discourse competence is an integral part of communicative competence. It is logical to assume that the understanding of discourse as a result in the form of text and as a cognitive process of creating meaning is interconnected with the terms "product" and "process" in the theory of teaching foreign languages. These two opposing terms have been implemented in approaches to teaching writing known as the modern-rhetorical (product-oriented) and process-based approaches.
