"Writing intruction in Jordan: Past, present, and future trends"

This article shows that the study investigated English language writing instruction in Jordan at three levels, namely primary and secondary state schools, a private school, and a state university. The researchers used tape recording interviews and class observations. It turned out that a host of factors, internal and external, have contributed negatively to students’ acquiring the desired level of competence in English writing. However, because the balance of power in the Middle East has been redefined and because new communication technologies such as the internet, e-mail messaging, web-page authoring, and cyber-communication have been advanced, student's desire to learning English has been refueled.
