Those writing education's tendency is called product-based approach. The formalism writing theory contribute to writing education by presenting contents, model of writing's stage, teaching method of imitation. But product-based approach in writing class resulted in ill effects like this : First, teaching method of imitation only focused on text. Second, it caused the cramming eduction.
