-Abstract
A suggested design thinking-based strategy is proposed to develop the writing performance and sustainability awareness of EFL University students. This is a one group pre/post quasi-experimental study. Thirty 4th year students at Suez University majored in TEFL participated in the study. They were taught writing using a suggested strategy based on the design thinking approach. A pre and a post writing performance tests as well as a sustainability awareness scale were devised by the researcher to measure participants' writing performance and their sustainability awareness before and after the study. Dependent samples t-test yielded a significant difference in the participants' mean scores between the pre and the post tests of writing performance in favor of the post test. Additionally, a difference that is significant in the participants' mean scores of the pre and post sustainability awareness scale was found using paired samples t-test. It was concluded that the proposed strategy that is based on design thinking approach had significantly enhanced the participants' writing performance and raised their sustainability awareness.
