Abstract

This report investigates teaching writing in English in Ukraine. The past and

present situations in teaching writing and the reasons for avoiding teaching

communicative writing skills in English courses in that country are considered. The

results of Ukrainian EFL student's needs analysis are presented, these results

Indicating the necessity of introducing writing into EFL course. The process-genre

approach is postulated as a foundation for elaborating an effective writing course

for Ukraine, and the first version of the course based on such an approach is

analyzed. Causes of the failure of this course are reported. It is demonstrated that a

successful EFL writing course has to be not only communicative but also state-of-

the-art. To motivate students, it also has to involve them from the beginning level in

activities, making writing itself fun. The second (successful) version of the course,

with a great part of learning organized as writing for fun, is presented, and its

advantages are shown.
