Teaching english as a foreign language (EFL) writing is a headache for many teachers, they spend considerable time correcting their students' compositions only to find their corrections and comments ignored. Despite teachers' hard work, many students' written english remains non - idiomatic, poorly organized, insufficiently developed, grammatically awkward, devoid of sentence structure variety, and weak in vocabulary usage. One important reason for all this is that learners have not been helped to become motivated, involved in their own learning, or self - sufficient. The fact is, students will not devote their efforts to learning a foreign language if they do not have a need or desire to learn it. However, when students are duly motivated, they will become involved in learning a foreign language and will learn it autonomously. One way to motivate learners, according to Ellis (1994, 516), is to design challenging tasks that present students with opportunities for communication and self -direction. To create such condition, I designed a magazine - editing project at shanghai maritime university, where I taught english writing to EFL students. This paper describes that writing project.
