The Effect of Framed Paragraph Writing on the Complexity And Fluency of EFL Learners’ Language Performance

In this insightful study, Fariba Nourani Arough explores how structured writing techniques—specifically framed paragraphs—can enhance the fluency and complexity of Foreign Language (EFL) learners' written performance. Conducted with 40 learners at a private college in Istanbul, this mixed-method research combines statistical analysis with qualitative feedback to offer a well-rounded perspective on an effective scaffolding strategy.
The findings reveal that framed paragraph instruction not only improves linguistic complexity and fluency but also boosts learners' confidence, reduces anxiety, and provides valuable guidance in idea generation and grammar usage. With implications for both classroom practice and academic research, this work contributes meaningfully to the growing literature on process writing and language learning strategies.
Ideal for educators, teacher trainers, and applied linguists, this book offers practical tools and theoretical insights into supporting EFL students on their journey toward becoming more confident and competent writers.
