The Effect of Intensive Teaching of Conditional Sentences Type One on Iranian Grade Three High School Students’ Writing Ability [PP: 99-105] Banafshe Farhangi Department of English Language, College of Humanities Islamic Azad University Rasht Branch, Iran Dr. Majid Pourmohammadi (Corresponding Author) Department of English Language, College of Humanities Islamic Azad University Rasht Branch, Iran ABSTRACT This study investigated the effectiveness of intensive teaching of conditional sentences type one on Iranian grade three high school students’ writing ability. To this end, to get the objective, 30 female grade three level high school students with the age range of 16 at Shahid Beheshti School in Goorabzarmikh, SomeSara, Iran were selected from 80 students based on their performance on Quick Placement Test. They were randomly divided into two groups, an experimental and a control. Those in the experimental group received eight-session treatment that was the use of intensive teaching of the conditional type one and, on the other hand, those in the control group received eight-session through normal regular teaching method. In normal regular teaching method, teacher used textbooks and traditional method in teaching the grammatical points. A posttest was then administered to both groups. The results revealed that the experimental group that utilized intensive teaching of first conditional sentences made a noticeably higher progress in terms of their writing ability than the control one.

1. Introduction counterproductive to promoting the Writing is the one of four skills that development of skilled writing and every language user needs to know how to motivation to write, including limiting the use it and to know the importance of writing degree to which students paced their own different texts, articles, books, and writing efforts, selected their own topics, magazines and so on. According to So and and worked peers. Lee (2013, pp. 1-2), “as second language To a school student the word writing is considered very short complex for means analytical and L2 learners, and a need for systematic and terminological study of sentences. comprehensive writing instruction is Knowledge of grammar helps students in the heightened”. correction of mistakes and improvement of Troia (2007) believed that for written work. Grammar is a sure ground of teachers to be able to adeptly use a process when linguistic habits fail us. So approach, 90-minutes per week is bare grammar is indispensable (Debata, 2013). minimum, but most teachers who espouse The characteristic of writing, which create such an approach appears to be devoting less this impression vary from language to than that to their instruction. Similarly language. In English, one of the key factors Graham, Harris, Fink, and MacArthur in fluent writing, specially writing of (2003) found that only slightly more than conditional sentences is the order of half of primary grade teachers across the information within the sentence, and in nation reported making more than one or particular at the beginning of the sentence two instructional adaptations for struggling (Elloway, 2013). writers, and sometimes the adaptations were 1.1 Statement of the Problem

Many teachers use different tools to language learners find it painstaking to write enhance their students' learning specially in the target language, producing less fluent writing skill. L2 writing is confronting a sentences and encountering difficulties in large number of linguistic problems with the revision of their written work (Hyland, vocabulary items and sentence structures. L2 2003), however, these difficulties are not is a complicated skill and l2 learners need to only attributed to their linguistic abilities but know sufficient information of vocabulary they mostly lay in the nature of writing and accurate sentence construction, but they process itself (Chih, 2008). write and revise the drafts several times and 1.2 Significance of the Study they are not satisfied with the writing Given a paucity of research about process because of limited number of class intensive teaching of conditional sentences sessions and insufficient time in class. For type one on writing ability, the present study L2 learners who do not have sufficient sought to provide ground for more accurate knowledge of four writing components, judgments to be made about the efficacy of content, organization, structure and intensive teaching of writing accurate mechanicsl2 writing is very complicated. grammatical texts and writing ability. This Some students may have limited study is supposed to be helpful to increase understanding of English structures, the students’ writing ability in the field of especially in understanding types of grammatical points especially in writing conditional sentences and this is because of accurate conditional sentences type one. that they may have limited grammatical In addition, the study helps the knowledge and information. For the learners teachers to use creative ways to teach the up to now there are many grammatical students and evaluate them. This study will problems which are related to making be efficient for students who want to learn different sentences on the basis of language and for teachers in classrooms grammatical principles such as making especially in senior high schools. The study different types of conditional sentences or will be useful for teachers in high schools to making passive voice sentences and etc. evaluate their students and apply suitable Most students do not use grammatical strategies in order to increase students' structure accurately in school for example knowledge of language and their writing when they are asked to write an essay or a skill. text which should use conditional sentences, 1.3 Research they may make a mistake. This research seeks to find a Novice and struggling writers do not practically justified answer to the following know enough information about writing question: process and writing grammatically to make Does the intensive teaching of first big picture changes (Shreman & Delapaz, conditional sentences produce a statistically 2015). They are reasons why poor writers significant effect on Iranian grade three high are not adapting at making more substantive school students᾿ writing ability? -level revisions. One set of reasons 2. Literature Review pertains to cognitive and motivational One crucial step in elevating the issues, while another pertains to status of writing instruction and its instructional issues (Troia, 2007). associated research is to identify what we For the learners, up to now little and know and where we need to know to invest marginal research have been carried out on further effort for the field to flourish and the effect of intensive teaching conditional draw attention it deserves from various sentences type one on EFL learners' writing stakeholders. To that end there are improvement. This research investigates the summarized research findings in four areas: effect of intensive teaching conditional characteristics of struggling writers’ sentence type one on grade three high school products and processes, essential instruction students’ writing ability. Although in writing content and process, assessment, and simple text, L2 learners may use their own teachers’ practices and professional grammatical language (native language) and development (Troia, 2007). may intermix the learning of target language Wilder and Mongillo (2007) rules with their own language. Teachers maintained that teacher educators have the should consider the ways to solve these dual responsibility to ensure that pre-service problems, and use different techniques to teachers can compose well-written prevent it and help them to write expository text and that they are prepared to grammatical sentences accurately.
