Reppen discusses the genre-based approach, which in recent years has received a lot of
attention from researchers as well as practitioners. A genre-based approach provides students
with ample opportunities to become aware of the different purpose of written communication
and the different ways information is organized in written texts. Unless students are exposed to
these different text types and are given sufficient practice in these types of writing their written
products will leave much to be desired.
Editing involves going back over the writing and making changes to its organization, style,
grammatical and lexical correctness, and appropriateness. Like all the other parts of the writing
process, editing does not occur in a fixed place in the process. Writers can be periodically
reviewing what they write, editing it, and then proceeding with the writing. Thus, editing is not
restricted to occurring after all the writing has been completed
The genre is the linguistic context, and the register is the language variety which results from
this linguistic context
The feedback can come from the teacher, from peers, and from the learners themselves in
selfassessment. The use of peer feedback can reduce the teacher’s load but is also very
valuable in helping writers develop a sense of audience
Experience tasks are planned so that learners are faced with only one aspect of the task
that is outside their previous experience.
Independent tasks do not involve this degree of control and learners may be faced with
several kinds of difficulty in the same task.
1) Expository – Writing in which author’s purpose is to inform or explain the subject to the
reader.
2) Persuasive – Writing that states the opinion of the writer and attempts to influence the
reader.
3) Narrative – Writing in which the author tells a story. The story could be fact or fiction.
4) Descriptive – A type of expository writing that uses the five senses to paint a picture for the
reader. This writing incorporates imagery and specific details.
Creative writing is one area (like painting and composing) where the imagination has a chance
to run free. The world is full of people who achieve great personal satisfaction in this way
Ans; Urdu is the national language of Pakistan and helps in uniting the general public
linguistically in a country whose people speak different regional languages; in fact it functions as
a kind of local Lingua Franca in Pakistan (Shamim, 2011). English is recognized as the second
language. However, it is spoken by a very small percentage of the population in Pakistan.
Q.50 Exemplification?

approximately half of all undergraduate courses, including physics, math, and engineering, and
94% of English courses.
Ans; Peer evaluation involves learners receiving feedback on their writing from each other. It
can be done in pairs or in a small group. Each learner brings the draft of a piece of writing, the
others read it, and then give helpful comments
Ans; Good conferencing is interactive. It should conclude with clear proposals for future
improvement of the writing. Conferencing on a portfolio allows the opportunity to look at
weaknesses and strengths which appear in several pieces of writing and thus deserve comment. It
also allows the opportunity to see improvement across several pieces of writing.
Q.56 publication?
Ans; Another form of positive feedback is publication. This can take many forms. Reading
written work aloud to others is a form of publication. Having your work circulated or posted on
the wall of the classroom is another, and having it appear in a printed collection is yet another..
Ans; Kaplan's ground-breaking article ignited considerable interest in CR, which has since
generated an impressive body of empirical research. In characterizing the impact of Kaplan's
work, Hinkel (2002) noted that CR research pursues the goal of descriptive accuracy that
originates in pedagogical necessity. He specified that L2 students enrolled in U.S. colleges and
universities are expected to produce academic texts that are congruent with Anglo-American
rhetorical paradigms.
Q.58 WH-Question:?
Ans; Students generate who, why, what, where, when and how question about a topic. More such
questions can be asked of answers to the first string of wh-questions, and so on. This can go on
indefinitely
Ans; Group members spew out ideas about the topic. Spontaneity is important here. There is no
right or wrong answers. Students may cover familiar ground first and then move off to more
abstract or wild territories.
