| Abstract: |
The acquisition of the four language skills; listening, speaking, reading and writing in English is a priority for students’ success at universities. Writing, in particular, represents one of the hardest skills to learn for students. However, most of the departments at universities insist that students should be skillful enough to write their essays, papers, and reports in English. \\\\ The present study aims at developing university students’ writing skills by proposing a model that adopts critical thinking strategies in developing students' academic writing skills. The model is divided into three parts that correspond to the main characteristics of an academic paper. It covers the external framework of the academic paper and the analytic and persuasion throughout the paper, self-assessment suggestions of the written essay, and general guidelines. The method used is the descriptive method which depends on analyzing the literature and describing the adopted models to produce the proposed model. The instrument is a questionnaire consisting of the sub-cores of the model and the subjects are staff members at Department of European Languages and Curriculum and Instruction Department at University of Jeddah. In order to measure the validity and reliability of the model, the researcher use many types of validity measures like intrinsic validity, internal consistency validity along with seeking the opinions of university staff members which added weight to the model validity in training students to write academic papers. The results deduced prove that the model has reached an acceptable level of validity and reliability and can be used to train university students to write academic essays. |
