Abstract.
 In this paper we introduce two classes of functions called weakly preopen and weakly preclosed functions  as generalization  of weak openness and weak closedness due to [26] and [27] respectively. We obtain their characterizations, their basic properties and their relationshisps with other types of functions between topological spaces.
