Mots-clés :
Strategy-Based Instruction / self-monitoring cooperative writing response groups /continuous assessment / self - peer-assessment.Résumé
This paper tries to define the language
learning strategies, to identify those
required by the writing skill and to show
our learners' need for strategy training in
the skill. It also attempts to suggest some
practical classroom activities that reduce
learners' and teachers' anxiety and make
both benefit from the classroom
environment to enhance learners' writing
process and production. Strategy-Based
Instruction can be of help to both teachers
and learners in order to develop selfmonitoring
and self/ peer evaluation skills
through cooperative writing response
groups.
