Abstract:
Genre - based approach offers a valuable resource for both pre - and in - service writing instructors to assist their students to produce effective and relevant texts. Instead of focusing on the process of composition, the content of texts, or the abstract prescriptions of disembodied grammars, genre approach enables teachers to ground their courses in the texts that students will have to write in their target contexts, thereby supporting learners to participate effectively in the world outside the EFL classroom.The current research aims at investigating the effect of using genre - based approach as a teaching technique on Iraqi EFL learners’ performance in essay writing.The current study is hypothesized that there are no statistically significant differences between the performancet mean score of the experimental group (taught essay writing by using genre - based approach) and that of the control group (taught essay writing according to the method stated in the Teacher’s Guide).The population of the study consists of fifth - grade male students/scientific branch at the secondary stage in the city of Baghdad during the academic year 2013 - 2014. The experiment of the study lasted two months. It started on 26th of February and ended on 27th of April, 2014.The sample of the study has been intentionally chosen from among male secondary school students in the city of Baghdad. Itconsists of 65 students. The non - equivalent posttest control group has been chosen as the experimental design. Therefore, the first group represents the experimental group which has been taught by using genre - based approach, and the second group represents the control group which has been taught according to the method stated in the Teacher’s Guide.Pre and post written tests are designed and exposed to a jury for the purpose of ascertaining their validity. The inter - rater Pearson correlation coefficient formula is used to calculate the tests reliability yielding coefficients of 0.82 which is considered an acceptable coefficient.At the end of the period of the experiment, the post - test is administered. The mean of the experimental group is 65.906, and the mean of the control group is 58.757.The t - test formula for two independent samples is conducted. The results of the analysis indicate that there is a statistically significant difference between the experimental group and control group where the experimental group proved to be better than the control group.In accordance with the results obtained, some conclusions, recommendations and suggestions for further studies on the topic have been stated.
