【Questions】

Which writing approach do you often adopt in your teaching? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

• 教师解析：

  I often adopt the process-oriented approach. With this approach, students analyse the topic and collect relevant information and materials. While students start drafting, the teacher will observe students’ problems and provide help. After the drafting, the teacher will correct students’ drafts. The advantages are obvious in that it promotes students’ autonomous learning and it’s student-centered. The disadvantages may be that it is too difficult for some students since they are mostly required to complete the writing task on their own.
