Abstract:
The present study explores the way students of the Iraqi preparatory schools, specially Sixth Classes, use and follow in their writings. The aim of the study is to prevent students from being forced to memorize pre-written texts. In addition, it is an attempt to make students write their main ideas clearly and concisely in their own words and styles. In this regard, a survey with a statistical analysis is made. This set of survey questions is intended to gather accurate and truthful data from students regarding ‘freewriting’ in a timely and strategic manner. The results show that the students at high level prefer freewriting technique whereas those at lower level would rather like the ready-made texts. The study also analyzes two selected sheets written by two Sixth Preparatory-Grade students.
