Abstract:
Developing students' competency in writing informational texts is essential for academic success and real-world communication. This study explores pedagogical approaches such as competencybased learning and process-based writing instruction while analyzing the role of digital tools in enhancing writing proficiency. By identifying key challenges-including curriculum inconsistencies, limited teacher training, and student engagement issues-this paper provides strategic interventions for improving instructional effectiveness. Through structured writing workshops, digital learning platforms, and interdisciplinary writing assignments, students can develop critical writing skills. The findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on effective writing pedagogy, highlighting the need for curriculum development and teacher professional training to bridge existing gaps in instructional practices.
