Abstract
This study aimed to explore the effect of Advance Narrative Organizers on the achievement of EFL sixth grade male students’ narrative writing and their motivation towards it, in comparison with the conventional method implemented in teaching English language writing in Al-Salt Governorate using a quasi-experimental design. The sample of the study consisted of 50 students who were equally divided into two groups: experimental group with 25 students and control group which consisted of 25 students. The instruments of the study embraced a pre-posttest and a pre-post motivation questionnaire. The results revealed that there were statistically significant differences in the narrative writing mean scores of sixth grade students ascribed to the use of Advance Narrative Organizer. They also revealed that there were few differences, though not statistically significant, in the student’s motivation towards narrative writing ascribed to the instructional method (Advance Narrative Organizer vs. conventional method). The study revealed a positive effect of narrative organizers in improving narrative writing skill among sixth-grade students and so recommends the use of narrative organizers in improving this skill.
