Abstract
If the instructor wants his or her instruction to be effective, the students should have a clear understanding of its underlying principles. Process approach to ESL or EFL writing is the same case. Although many ESL or EFL writing instructors and textbooks explicitly manifest their adherence to the process approach, the instruction by the instructors and textbooks casts a doubt in its effectiveness. This study supposes that a reason for this ineffectiveness can be found in students’ inadequate understanding of the approach. The respondents’ answers in the study confirmed the supposition and disclosed that they did not possess the adequate understanding enough to gain the benefits of the approach. Therefore, if English writing instructors want to implant his or her process-oriented writing instruction in the classroom successfully, they need to help their students understand the underlying principles of the approach and instruction. Moreover, the instructors and textbook writers need to make the principles explicit to students and tightly follow them in designing the instruction or the textbook.
