Learning a second/foreign language is considered to be a complex activity which
involves listening, speaking, reading, and writing (Rubin, 1987). Of all, writing is a
skill essential for a person’s intellectual and communicative development which
shows one’s thinking maturity. So when considering higher education, it is writing
skill which is of great importance and one of the aspirations of the students in
almost all fields of study in higher education is to be known as a good professional
writer (Cortes, 2004; Hyland, 2008a, 2008b).However, in an EFL context; for
example, Marušic and Marušic (2003) reported that many of their co-workers had
enough data to contribute to literature, but did not have enough writing ability to
present these data to reputable journals. This is the problem that unofficially we
have experienced with our medical students because many of these students are
already engaged in so many lab experiments but do not have the required skills to
report their data professionally to scientific journals.
