Post-Process Approach:
Meaning:
More personal.
Encourages more creative writing.
Not formulaic.
Process vs. moving (mobility)
Readability of post-process is better than process.
Presentation of the self; creates style and voice.
Against power in discourse.
How should it be taught?
With minimal traditional rules
Student-centered
Teach writing as a public, social process – involving other language users
Its ok to make mistakes
Why is approach better than the other?
Students learn how to become a writer by getting their actual thoughts out instead of writing what is expected.
Students learn to write through their own processes (no “right” way)
Students are able to experiment and revise continually
It helps to turn the internal editor off-
