The RACE strategy is a structured approach designed to enhance the quality of written responses in academic settings. It emphasizes four key components: Restate, Answer, Cite, and Explain. By instructing learners to restate the question, directly answer it, cite pertinent evidence from the text, and explain how that evidence supports their answer, the strategy ensures clarity and coherence in responses. This method encourages thorough understanding and promotes the use of text evidence to substantiate arguments, fostering skills essential for academic writing and critical thinking. Through practice exercises and examples, learners can apply the RACE strategy to various contexts, improving their overall writing capabilities.
