The present study was intended to compare the effect of using dictogloss and processing instruction on EFL learners' writing accuracy. To achieve the goal of this study, 56 Iranian teenage participants in elementary level were homogenized and selected out of 90 learners at Parsayan language school, Tehran, based on the result of piloted sample Key English Test (KET). These participants were randomly divided into two experimental groups with 28 participants in each: dictogloss and processing instruction groups.
