This study investigates the role of FSB on enhancing Iranian EFL Learners’ writing quality. To do this, ۷۰ students from the population of Iranian EFL learners studying English in a language institute in Tehran, Iran were selected. This study was conducted with Iranian male. The sample population was divided into two groups; namely, control and experimental. Prior to scheduling class visits to collect the data, the researcher explained to the instructors the purpose and procedures of the study. Students were also informed about the right to voluntary participation, the anonymous nature and the confidentiality of their data. It took the participants approximately ۱۵ min on average to complete the questionnaires. A ‘t-test’ on the mean scores of both groups indicated a significant difference between the scores of the post-tests, meaning that the FSB was significantly effective in the experimental group’s writing quality. Findings led to the conclusion that the experimental group outperformed the control group in writing quality. The product of this study can help curriculum designers; language instructors and practitioners appreciate the importance of FSB and to introduce FSB to students to expand their writing quality on tasks of language systematically.
