Abstract

Organizing and developing ideas in writing a text are problematic for many EFL learners although they have learned English for years. This challenges EFL teachers to design innovative learning strategies to solve the problem. This study investigated the students’ doing thematic progression and concept map analyses as a learning strategy. It aims at finding out the effectiveness of the strategy to develop the EFL students’ textual competence to write argumentative texts, ie. to develop the genre-based approach. The students’ textual competence means their competence in organizing ideas at the macro and micro levels. This study is an experimental study done in a classroom context. Thirty EFL students were involved in this research; fifteen as a control group, fifteen as an experimental. The research results show that the students’ doing concept maps and thematic development analyses are effective to enhance the students’ textual competence since these activities develop the students’ critical thinking skills. Thus, the researchers recommend that English teachers consider the students’ doing thematic development and concept map analyses as an alternative strategy to enrich the teaching-learning process.
