[Audio] A study conducted by Lavanya Vejayan and Melor Md Yunus showed that writing abilities and writing approaches used in ESL classrooms can have an effect on student performance. Four cases were compared to determine the most successful writing approach. Process-based approach, while utilized with fourth semester tertiary students, did not lead to improved writing performance. However, when using an explicit creative imitation approach through genre-based instruction, students had more authority and freedom in their learning. Alternatively, the STAD method with collaborative learning proved successful and the product and process-based approach that included Hi-Five Fingers and Snack Bar Guides resulted in improved writing skills, grade, and a greater interest among students. Research-backed writing approaches lead to better student performance..
