| Summary: | This research was carried out in an attempt to solve the problems of students‘ poor writing performanceat TuyenQuang Gifted High School. A hypothetical solution –the use of genre-based approach to teaching writing –was tested in this study through a small-scale action research project. Thisstudy was conducted in two cycles following the procedures of the action research. In the first cycle, a questionnaire was administered to gain information about the difficulties the students had been encountered with in completing thewriting tasks in the textbook. Then in the second phase, the genre-based approach was experimented to teach writing to these students. By the time the experimentterminated, another questionnaire was administered to the students to find out their opinionson the usefulness and appropriateness of the genre-based approach to their learning to write. Students‘ writings were also analysed to complement the questionnaire data and to measure the impact of the treatment upon students‘ writing.The results showed that students did make progress in their writing, and students‘ opinions were positive about the treatment. |
