Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. Denote by $\wp$ the class of weak $w$-projective $R$-modules and by $\wp^{\bot}$ the right orthogonal complement of $\wp$. It is shown that $(\wp,\wp^{\bot})$ is a hereditary and complete cotorsion theory, and so every $R$-module has a special weak $w$-projective precover. We also give some necessary and sufficient conditions for weak $w$-projective modules to be $w$-projective. Finally it is shown that when we discuss the existence of a weak $w$-projective cover of a module, it is enough to consider the $w$-envelope of the module.
Keywords: Weak $w$-projective precover, $w$-operation (theory), cotorsion theory
