THE ECLECTIC APPROACH IN TEACHING WRITING
Abstract
Writing is a core component of language education, it is considered as the most challenging skill to master because it requires complex linguistics knowledge. Yet teaching it effectively has been an ongoing challenge. Traditional approaches to teaching have limitations when applied exclusively. This paper explores the eclectic approach to teaching writing, which integrates elements from various methodologies to provide a more holistic and adaptive strategy for different learning contexts. Through a comprehensive analysis of theoretical foundations, practical applications, and empirical evidence, this study emphasizes the benefits of an eclectic approach in addressing the multifaceted nature of writing instruction.
