Research in theteaching of writing has been increasingly student-centredand focuses attention on writing as a recursive process inwhich planning, structuring, reading, revising and editingtake place throughout the whole task. In line with this. tendency, the research report aims to evolve an approach tothe teaching of writing which synthesises the strengths ofcurrent paradigms for the teaching of writing. The synthesisapproach is applied to an analysis of TELIP (Teachers'English Language Improvement Programme) writing materials inan attempt to determine its effectiveness as an analytictool.
