Academic writing is pivotal to education as a mean to develop the society and the country. Quality academic articles can be realized only with due attention on all stages of writing from planning, content screening and presentation of information to correspond with the expectations of the readers and the academic contexts. Undergraduate students, nevertheless, appear to be challenged in this regard. A study of their academic articles reveals issues concerning thinking process, planning, content screening and writing protocol. These can be addressed with an integrative approach to the development of comprehensive academic writing capability, combining the advantages of different writinginstruction to cover all dimensions of communication: the author, the content and the reader. The three approaches are the process-based approach, the content-based approach and the genre-based approach The strengths of these approaches are integrated into a model for the teaching of academic writing skills which is aimed at improving the author’s thinking process, the content quality and the understanding of academically correct writing principles. The model will facilitate dissemination of knowledge and benefit social development efforts eventually.
