- Application of the PEE Model to essay composition in an IELTS preparation class Ender Orlando Velasco Tovar Lengua y Literatura IELTS PEE model essay writing Cohesion and coherence Based on two case studies, this study investigates the application of the Point, Explanation, Example (PEE) modelto essay composition in a multi-lingual IELTS preparation class. This model was incorporated into an eight-weekprogramme of instruction to ESL adults in London, England. Students preparing for the IELTS exam were askedto write pre- and post-instruction essays on a given topic within 40 minutes. Employing the IELTS band descriptors(IELTS, 2013) and analyses of coherence and cohesion in line with Systemic Functional Linguistic concepts (Halliday& Matthiessen, 2004;McCarthy, 1991), samples of students’ writing were analysed. Data from students’ pre- and post-instruction interviews was also gathered and analysed. The findings of this study suggest that the PEE model is to someextent effective in improving the essay composition performance of IELTS students, in particular in the area of cohesionand coherence. Students find the PEE model useful in regard to the clarity and structure that the model seems to addto their essays. 2015 artículo científico 0123-4641 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=305739087007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3057 Colombian Applied Linguistics Journal application/pdf Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas Colombian Applied Linguistics Journal (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.17
