TY - JOUR AU - Chrissie Boughey AB - Attempts to use the mainstream curriculum of tertiary institutions to develop reading and writing skills can often be problematical. This is partly due to the large numbers of students in many classes, and partly to the reluctance of mainstream lecturers to transfer the time they previously devoted to the delivery of content to the development of skills. This article discusses the relationship of writing to learning as a means of motivating lecturers to develop language-related skills, and describes a writing process aimed at overcoming the problem of large numbers by getting students to write in groups. © Oxford University Press « Previous | Next Article » Table of Contents This Article ELT J (1997) 51 (2): 126-134. doi: 10.1093/elt/51.2.126 » Abstract Free Full Text (PDF) Free Classifications Article Services Article metrics Alert me when cited Alert me if corrected Find similar articles Similar articles in Web of Science Add to my archive Download citation Request Permissions Citing Articles Load citing article information Citing articles via CrossRef Citing articles via Scopus Citing articles via Web of Science Citing articles via Google Scholar Google Scholar Articles by Boughey, C.
