The purpose of this study is to identify the reading-based writing in the EFL context and to suggest the efficient research methodology on the EFL writing. And compared grammar-based writing with reading-based writing, more efficient writing methodology is proposed based on cognitive aspects of language acquisition. In addition, the research data on the papers of reading-based writing are analysed and the integrating and meaning-based research issues of EFL writing are suggested. In the field of writing instruction, product-oriented writing has been a mainstream with a focus on the language forms such as grammar and structure. It stressed language accuracy, but it did not result in students’ creative writing and critical thinking In contrast, process-oriented writing emphasized the language fluency for the purpose of communicative writing, which is involved in meaning-based writing. The writing instruction with extensive reading is a brain- based teaching, which enhances students’ motivation towards foreign language writing and leads to creative and critical writing. In this regard, the current paradigm for foreign language writing research has shifted from product-oriented writing to process-oriented writing.
