As an online English teacher, I prefer process writing over product writing for several reasons: *Process Writing:* 1. Emphasizes the writing journey, not just the end result. 2. Encourages students to focus on drafting, revising, and editing. 3. Develops critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. 4. Allows for feedback and guidance throughout the writing process. 5. Helps students understand that writing is a process, not a one-time event. *Product Writing:* 1. Focuses solely on the finished product. 2. Can lead to emphasis on grammar and mechanics over content. 3. May result in students prioritizing perfection over creativity. 4. Limited opportunities for feedback and revision. *Why Process Writing?* 1. Improves student confidence and motivation. 2. Enhances writing fluency and coherence. 3. Develops self-assessment and reflection skills. 4. Fosters a growth mindset toward writing. *In Practice:* In my lessons, I guide students through.

Process writing because it focuses on development of writing skills, it also encourages creativity and essential skills like brainstorming, outlining, drafting and revising.
Of course, both aspects are important, I believe that the process is more interesting, but people should also understand what you are writing about) However, when I show that writing is not only rules and work, but also an interesting and exciting process that can be enjoyed, and see the smile on my students' faces while writing, it's really great)

I prefer process writing because I feel like students gain more from it. I only use product writing for quizzes and exams

Repeat the words a lot and give a context to it, plus the picture of it. Find synonyms, make the student create sentences using the new vocab and finally of they write down a story using these new words, they won't probably forget about them easily :)
