The present study is aimed at exploring the effectiveness of the Insightful Questions to Promote Writing production among Students at Information and Computers College. Basically, writing enhances language learning for some reasons. First, the close relationship between writing and thinking makes writing a valuable part of any language course. Second, writing encourages students to focus on accurate language use because they think as they write. It may provoke language development and reinforce the grammatical structures, and vocabulary Moreover, providing an evidence of student’s academic success progress in learning and achievement that it can be examined and reviewed immediately then provides feedback to the teacher. When writing is for writing then, the main purpose of writing is to help students become better writers and learn how to write in various genres using different registers. Forth, using writing as preparation for another activity, it is enabling students to master the skills even it is not the main focus of an activity for instance, using writing in questionnaire - type activities and most exams. Whether they are testing foreign language abilities or measure their knowledge . Whenever, Action learning is defined by Revans (1982) as a social process: people learn from and with each other, and a learning community. Revans (1982) defined ALSA as an educational process whereby the participant studies their own actions and experience in order to improve performance. Learners acquire knowledge through actual actions and repetitions, rather than through traditional instruction. In Revans’ original conceptualization in(1980) learning results from the independent contributions of programmed instruction (designated P) and spontaneous questioning (designated Q). P constitutes information and skill derived from material already formulated, digested and presented, typically through coursework. Q is knowledge and skill gained by apposite questioning, investigation and experimentation. Professor Reg Revans pioneered Action Learning, considered by some to be one of the most important ideas to have emerged in management and organizational development in the last 50 years. At early of its appearance was called approach, Reg Revans presented action learning approach in 1940 in a form of Learning process = programmed knowledge + ability to ask insightful questions, L= P+Q. After that, some researchers gave their concern for Action Learning as a learning process like; Deny et al (1977) wrote a book for teachers of English and language art in kindergarten grade, which presented fifty activities that involve students actively in the processes of their learning experiences with description, procedures and recommendations for evaluation.
