THE USE OF SPECIFIC PROMPTS TO ENHANCE EFL WRITING SKILLS

Abstract

This study examines the role of specific prompts in enhancing EFL learners’ writing skills. Writing is often considered one of the most challenging aspects of language acquisition, especially for learners who lack motivation or struggle with idea generation. Specific prompts provide structured guidance, helping students organize their thoughts and develop coherent, well-structured texts. The study explores various types of prompts, such as narrative, argumentative, and descriptive, and their impact on fluency, accuracy, and creativity in writing. By analyzing students’ written outputs and conducting qualitative interviews, the research identifies effective prompt-based techniques that foster critical thinking and linguistic competence in EFL learners.
