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)

Process writing treats writing as a sequence of actions rather than a one-shot task. It centers on planning, drafting, revising, and editing, with a continual focus on who will read the piece and why. In practice, writers think about audience and purpose during planning, produce a rough draft to get ideas down, then revise for organization, clarity, and impact, followed by editing for language and mechanics. This approach helps learners see how a message changes through stages to better meet readers’ needs. The other terms don’t specifically emphasize this orderly writing process or the reader-centered aspect in the same way.
