Abstract:

This study aimed to study the impact of the use of brainstorming and its subcategories (listing, questions and answers, sketch) as a pre-writing strategy for Iraqi EFL MA students. Participants in the study were 60 Iraqi EFL MA learners, both male and female. The instruments of the study were the pre-test, the instruction, the post-test and a questionnaire at the end of the treatment to measure the attitude of the students toward teaching. The results of the study showed that there was no meaningful relationship between brainstorming, its subcategories and the written development of EFL learners. Moreover, the results showed that there was no significant difference between men and women in terms of brainstorming usage and the three subcategories.
