Which term focuses on the stages of writing such as planning, drafting, revising, and editing, and considering the audience?

• A. Process writing
• B. Process-oriented syllabus
• C. Pre-listening
• D. Plenum

Answer: (A)

Writing as a process centers on the sequence a writer goes through to produce a text: planning, drafting, revising, and editing, with an eye on who will read it and why. This approach treats writing as something you develop in stages, using planning to organize ideas, drafting to get them down, revising to improve structure and clarity, and editing to fix language and accuracy, all with the audience in mind. That focus on both the step-by-step writing activities and tailoring the piece to readers is what makes this term the best fit.

The other options don’t capture that exact combination. A process-oriented syllabus refers to organizing a whole course around processes generally, not specifically the act of writing in its staged form. Pre-listening is about initial listening tasks in language learning, and plenum denotes a whole-class discussion format, not a writing process.
