The article presents information on the design of instructional systems for teaching advanced writing in ESL classes. It highlights on a design for writing exercises initially developed for the University of Michigan EAP classes. The purpose of the design is to provide more individualized instruction for advanced writing students, thereby helping them to write more effectively in genres they will actually need to use. In addition, the purpose of the design is to acquaint students with some of the English thought patterns which underly the organization of longer units of discourse, from compositions to full-length academic papers. It is important to emphasize to students that individual sentences, without their surrounding contexts, provide relatively little information as examples of language functions. This design for advanced writing materials isolates one organizational function at a time for intensive practice, includes practice in the use of appropriate discourse signals, and stresses the need for integrating functional reading and writing activities. |
