Abstract:

Developing Writing Skills through the Process-Genre Approach  

Bonala Kondal
SR University, Warangal

The objectives of the book are to find out the tertiary level learners’
entry-level behavior in terms of business writing skills, to explore if the
process-genre approach to writing could significantly influence the quality of
the students’ business writing, to ascertain the effect of the process-genre
approach to writing in developing writing skill of MBA students, and  to
obtain students’ feedback and opinion on their experiences in using the
process genre approach to teaching business writing skills. The sample
included 40 MBA students.  The age group ranged between 21 to 24 years and
they had diverse mother tongue background.  The diverse research tools are
used to collect the data. The study was carried out in 3 phases.  They were:
pre-intervention phase, intervention programme and post-intervention phase. 
In addition, the researcher also administered questionnaires to 32 teachers of
English to gather data about their teaching experiences regarding teaching of
writing.  
At the end, the pre-test was conducted among MBA students in order to quantify
their entry-level behavior in terms of writing business reports and proposals.
During the intervention stage, the researcher taught business writing through
the process-genre approach. The study adopted mixed method approach for
analyzing the data obtained. Later the pre-test and post-tests scores of the
subjects were compared to obtain the rate of their improvement in different
aspects of business writing. Based on the post-test results, it was discovered
that the process-genre approach to the teaching of writing had a significant
effect on the learners’ written performance. The post-test scores of the
students were significantly higher than that of their pre-test scores.  The
findings established that the process genre approach to L2 writing helped the
management learners to enhance their writing skills.  It is recommended that
English teachers should adopt this approach to help students improve their
writing skills.
