There has been a growing interest recently in the teaching of written English. Current methodology has attempted to bring it in line with the various developments that have taken place in the teaching of oral skills. It is beginning to be recognized that .the primacy of speech asserted by structuralist linguists, among others, and the broad reaction to old grammar-translation methods have caused an unfortunate downgrading of the reading and writing components of language teaching. In an attempt to right the balance, a great number of controlled writing texts have appeared in Britain and the United States. These texts seem to be heavily influenced by what is now standard structuralist methodology with a high degree of control in both early and intermediate stages, teaching and testing one thing at a time and progressing in short simple well-defined steps to that uneasy moment when least control develops into no control. At this intermediate/advanced level, as with oral-aural teaching, teachers are deserted by many textbook writers and left largely to themselves to sift through available material for advanced grammar exercises and advanced texts for comprehension.
