Pre-task Planning In The Algerian Efl Context: Exploring Its Impact On Learners’ Accuracy In Writing

Résumé: This article explores the impact of strategic planning on EFL learners’ accuracy in writing. It further probes the difficulties that are faced by the learners in writing. In pursuance of this aim, the researchers have collected data through a mixed methodology consisting of quantitative and qualitative methods. While the former consisted of pre and post-questionnaires and pre-post writing tests, the latter consisted of classroom observation and textual analysis. The results revealed that EFL learners encounter several difficulties in writing which lead them to write less accurate texts. Besides, it has been concluded that students do not plan before writing. Finally, the comparison of the pre and post-tests revealed that the learners’ accuracy in writing has been developed after implementing the different pre-planning strategies. Furthermore, the paired samples test revealed that the difference is statistically.
