Abstract

The ability to write effectively is becoming progressively important and instruction in writing is assuming an increasing role in second and foreign language education. Students’ writing abilities have been tested through various writing tasks. Independent tasks of writing or WRITING-ONLY TASKS have been utilized to test students’ WRITING ABILITY; however, they have been criticized for their lack of authenticity and validity and integrated tasks of writing have been proposed as an alternative. In this regard, this study attempted to examine the impacts of reading-to-write and WRITING-ONLY TASKS on the WRITING ABILITY of Iranian EFL learners. The main participants of the study were 68 intermediate-level EFL learners divided into two homogeneous groups: experimental and control. After the writing pretest, the experimental group was given READING-TO-WRITE TASKS for 15 sessions, while the control group was provided with WRITING-ONLY TASKS. Eventually, a writing posttest was administered. The statistical analyses of the collected data revealed a statistically significant difference between the WRITING ABILITY of the participants of the two groups. To be precise, READING-TO-WRITE TASKS were found to be more effective than WRITING-ONLY TASKS. The data collected via the reading-to-write questionnaire was likewise analyzed with the results showing a unanimous preference for READING-TO-WRITE TASKS.
