Abstract :
This study aimed at investigating the effects of journal reading comprehension practice during pre-writing on the development of the writing of college students enrolled in English as a foreign language (EFL) programmer. Existing scores on the students’ first semester writing achievement test were used to determine the writing proficiency levels of the subjects. Data were collected through administering two writing tests, a one-hour test and a 15-minutes free writing test. The results of these tests were analyzed using t-test to assess the relationship between writing fluency, complexity and accuracy. Findings of the study showed that there was no significant difference between journal writing and reading comprehension practice in improving the writing fluency, complexity and accuracy of the students. Keywords: Reflective Journal, reading Fluency, of Iranian EFL Learners.
