ABSTRACT
One of the issues facing EAP writing teachers is the choice of classroom activities that will prepare students for their future writing needs and at the same time encourage learners to focus on language use—on how to express their ideas clearly, appropriately and accurately. A writing activity that may fulfill these twin goals is collaborative writing, simply defined as the co-authoring of a single text by two or more writers (for a more elaborate definition see Storch, 2013).
