Abstrakt: This paper presents a learning unit for teaching argumentative writing in English as a foreign language in secondary school. The learning unit follows a process-genre approach based on draft-feedback-revision sequences and genre-specific instruction. For the learning unit, a comic story was created in order to mitigate the inherent difficulty of the genre and to promote motivation. The learning unit was implemented in two intervention studies within a project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) that investigated the effects of different kinds of formative feedback on adolescent students’ argumentative writing competence. In the article, we present the learning unit’s goals, design principles, and contents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
