The idea for this activity came out when the 2019-’20 edition of EAP course for STEM PhD had to be completely restyled for remote delivery during the total lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020). It can however be used in face-to-face classes too. In the course, written production was based on initial analysis of model-texts and was process-oriented rather than product-oriented. Writing was to be considered a journey and included several stages: an autonomous read and research stage (usually in terms of flipped classroom), in-class analysis of models, brainstorming ideas, planning, drafting, revising and rewriting several times, editing and publishing a text to be uploaded to a shared folder. The activity is aimed at young adult students (Ss) at B2/C1 level of English, but it can be adapted to different levels and ages. It can also be adapted to peer-reviewing in Speaking activities, which might however be more challenging because Ss have less time to reflect.

Abstract
The idea for this activity came out when the 2019-’20 edition of EAP course for STEM PhD had to be completely restyled for remote delivery during the total lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020). It can however be used in face-to-face classes too. In the course, written production was based on initial analysis of model-texts and was process-oriented rather than product-oriented. Writing was to be considered a journey and included several stages: an autonomous read and research stage (usually in terms of flipped classroom), in-class analysis of models, brainstorming ideas, planning, drafting, revising and rewriting several times, editing and publishing a text to be uploaded to a shared folder. The activity is aimed at young adult students (Ss) at B2/C1 level of English, but it can be adapted to different levels and ages. It can also be adapted to peer-reviewing in Speaking activities, which might however be more challenging because Ss have less time to reflect.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
