The need for the present research, ‘Teaching Writing Using Picture Stories as Tools at the High School Level: The Movement from Other Regulation to Self Regulation’, emerges from the researcher’s B. Ed Project in which it was noticed that learners in regional medium schools struggle to write in English. It was observed that the only kind of writing these learners are used to is copying notes from the blackboard or guide books or taking down teacher dictated notes with numerous errors. The researcher’s objective is to identify the learners’ areas of difficulty in writing and help them to.
