Learning strategies This study aimed at investigating teaching techniques and strategies followed by the English language teachers in a secondary school concerning writing practice inside the classroom.

Previous researches have reported that most first year students at the local universities do not meet the requirement for writing skills in the English language. Despite the eleven years of formal teaching and learning of the English language in both primary and secondary schools, the students still do not master the required skills to help them at the university level.

Findings from the study show that process writing is the most dominant teaching writing technique demonstrated by the respondents.
