The Effect of CoRT Programme with EFL Preparatory School Students' in Writing

Abstract

The CoRT programme is a series of thinking tools that aid in the development and maintenance of mental ability, which is necessary for learning various parts of the cognitive process. Writing is a crucial ability for expressing thoughts, feelings, and expressions. Writing proficiency in second language teaching is important because it allows the writer to generate, analyze, and communicate a variety of messages to readers, allowing the writer to have a positive connection with society. Composition writing improves students' ability to create an expressive text using their own words or inventing new ones by exposing them to a variety of topics. In order to develop successful outputs based on the quality of instructions, the thinking process requires creative skills.The problem explored in this study is students' low proficiency in English composition writing. The incapacity to develop their creative and critical thinking in composition writing could be one of the explanations. As a result, new cognitive thinking strategies, programmes, and procedures must be implemented in practical sessions when teaching composition writing.This study aims at:1- Finding out if there is any significant difference between the experimental group's achievement at the recognition and the production levels in the posttest.2- Finding out if there is any significant difference between the experimental group's achievement in pre and posttest.It is hypothesized that:1- There are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group's achievement at the recognition and the production levels in the posttest.2- There are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group's achievement in the pre and posttest
