The present study investigated the effect of the station rotation model on developing preparatory students' writing performance. The study included twenty-five-1st preparatory stage students enrolled in a preparatory school in New Cairo, Cairo, Egypt. The study adopted the quasi- experimental design. Twenty-five participants were randomly selected and assigned to one group who received instruction through the station rotation model. Data were collected and analyzed using quantitative and qualitative instruments. A pre post writing test, an analytical writing scoring rubric, a writing performance reflective checklist, and writing samples were used. Findings illustrated that participants showed stronger writing performance in the area of relevance of ideas, reflection, organization, accuracy, and fluency. Findings also showed significantly higher levels of vocabulary acquisition. The improvement of students' writing as illustrated by multiple measures suggested that the station rotation model is an effective one for enhancing preparatory students' writing performance.
