UNIT 6 WRITING



 WHAT IS WRITING?









Firstly, writing is a productive Skill and is one way where we can communicate and express our feelings, ideas, opinions, etc. Also, everyone has the ability to write and we as English teachers can help students become better writers. Moreover, I think that writing is a  strong Skill in English because learners need to work hard to accuracy and cohesion on their writings coupled with practice for that reason  it takes a long time. 

At my teaching classroom, I can apply some tips to improve students´ writing Skill like practice writing in English daily, where they have to write short essays about different topics chosen from the groups by the same token  make them conscious of the importance to write and they will start to create a new habit.

In the final analysis, I learned the four approaches about this Skill they are the product approach, the process approach, the genre approach and the process genre model for teaching writing. In brief, I prefer to apply at my teaching classroom the process approach because it is easy to follow due to it has four stages in writing 1) prewriting 2) composing /drafting 3) revising and 4) editing. According to Tribble (1996), these stages are recursive because it involves repeated rule, procedure, application but we can add new ideas such as; a brainstorming order to get a piece of writing without spelling mistakes, punctuation or grammatical errors at the end of a lesson.

I found this interesting video that I want to share with you.
