Responsive
and Extensive Writing
•
* Responsive: It requires learners to perform
at a limited discourse level, connecting sentences into
a paragraph and creating a logically connected sequence
of two or three paragraphs. The writer has already mastered
the fundamentals of sentence-level grammar and is more focused
on the discourse conventions that will achieve the objectives
of the written text.
•
Ex: Brief narratives and descriptions, a lab report, summaries
and etc.
• * Extensive: It implies successful
management of all the processes and strategies of writing
for all purposes. Writers work focusing on the achievement
of a purpose. Organizing ideas logically, using details
to support or illustrate it and demonstrating syntactic
and lexical variety.
•
Ex: an essay, a term paper, a major research project report,
a thesis and etc.
Both
extensive and responsive writers are able to produce real
writing. They are able to process ideas in a conscious way
and their texts are expected to be meaningful. They become
involved in the art of composing a text instead of simply
displaying it.
