UNIT 6 WRITING

 

This is another important skill but in this case this is a productive skill.  It means that while a person is writing he or she is producing rather than receiving. The purpose of writing is communicating something to someone through a paper in most of the cases. However, people is writing all the time it does not matter if the person is studying or not, may be our mother is making a list of things she has to buy at the supermarket in this moment or a boyfriend is writing a text message to his girlfriend, etc., it means that people use different text types and different characteristics like for example key words, simple sentences, long or short sentences, etc. we can also write with different formality and layouts.

The same as in reading, in writing we also have the following subskills which is some of them are engaged with accuracy: spelling correctly, forming letters correctly, joining letters correctly, writing legibly, punctuating correctly, using correct layouts, choosing the right vocabulary, using grammar correctly, using sentences correctly, using paragraphs. Besides that, it is important to use an appropriate style and register. Another important fact is that for writing we have the following stages: drafting,  editing, proofreading and re-drafting. To encourage writing my students I would like to ask them to write about relevant for them and later teach the strategies to write correctly, I think that is going to work since they are going to be motivated.
