- 1TEACHING WRITING BY: Sandra Leticia Monroy Gómez ID: 076-22-20420INTRODUCTION
There is no doubt that writing is the most difficult skill for L2 learners to master.
The difficulty lies not only in generating and organizing ideas, but also in translation of the Language. - 2Seow describes the process approach to teaching writing: planning, writing, revising, and editing in four basic concepts. Reppen discusses the gender-based approach that provides students with ample opportunities to become aware of the different purposes of written communication and information in texts. Ferris begins with an observation that while process skills are important, we need to keep in mind that grammatical inaccuracies can have negative effects on the overall result.“The neurosis of lesson planning” and “Anguish as
a second language” in which I explored the fact that both learning and teaching a language promote anxiety.
STEP 1: ASCERTAINING GOALS AND INSTITUTIONAL
CONSTRAINTS: In the article, I found myself discussing under each heading the limitations placed on
teachers by their institutions or, further afield, by the ministries of education, - 3When students learn a second language, they feel scared, embarrassed and others even foolish to feel that they do not pronounce it well. On the other hand, when they spoke or wrote in their language, they felt safe and positive. Executing good projects can help improve student learning. We need to find ways to ensure and vary our means to work toward prescribed ends. ESL is very immersive in the teaching of a second language.In the United States, teaching writing to immigrants and refugees raises problems of assimilation
Two examples of decisions in writing classes:
the use of text models and the choice to focus on content or form.
It is necessary to analyze well how the text models help us.
A commitment to content, fluency, personal voice, and revision is whether teachers focus.
In it or not, I prefer to call this a process approach to teaching writing and emphasizing when we pay attention.
a process approach is not the same as a
expressionist approach, focusing solely on personal writing.
emphasizing in the classroom is not just a matter of practice. - 4STEP 3: PLANNING CONTENT: One wrong answer is that the content of a writing course takes second place to practice on prescribed models of writing. paragraph or essay form. An important point about the use of writing as a unique tool for language learning. Writing serves to discover learning, not just to demonstrate it. the question of content involves more than selecting content that is not based on rhetorical models of form. Actively encourage students to use writing as a learning and communication tool. Courses can address specific genres as the focus of instruction, in a large number of ESL. students need topics that allow them to generate ideas, find ways to they fit with the ideas and invite to take risks.STEP 4:WEIGHING THE ELEMENTS:
Writing consists of many constituent parts.
The most important thing for a course: content, organization, originality, style, fluency, precision or
using appropriate rhetorical forms of discourse.
So we have to set priorities and weigh the
elements according to the needs of the students and our own philosophy.
When he started teaching ES in the early 1960s, there was primarily a writing course
as grammar practice.
Rhetoricians often graphically present an English piece of writing as a straight line.
give instruction in
Writing is not like giving instructions for assembling a toy or a computer, it is not simply a matter of getting the right tools and following instructions. If it were, people would be good writers and more teachers and textbook writers would be very rich. - 5STEP 5: DRAWING UP A SYLLABUS: As organizes your content and classroom learning experiences. in the language Teaching Matrix, Richards (1990) lists the types of programs commonly found in speech. and listening courses in ESL. Traditional and current list of organization: -Structural. - Functional. - Topical. -Situational. -Skills and processes. - Tasks. we have to make a selection based on principles every time we we plan a lesson or a course. It is not necessary to exclude students from the syllabus design process working with textbooks is giving him all the power of choice of our students that he does not know.STEP 6: SELECTING MATERIALS:
Increasingly, writing teachers are beginning to look at the main texts of a writing class.
The students
and teachers generate lots of words on the page for analysis, discussion and review.
Teachers turn to other materials, such as videos, software, and books. then the materials we have to fit as much as possible with the objectives, principles, contents
Writing will help our students with fluency and discovery of ideas and language.
Before selecting a book, either individually or as a committee, it is advisable to consider a section or a task or two and work through it to see what is asked and what assumptions
does the author.
For authentic purposes, I would suggest looking for the following seven characteristics:
- Topics, - Types of writing, - Opportunities for and instruction in methods of generating ideas, - Instruction on principles of rhetorical organization, -Opportunities for collaboration, - Opportunities for revision, - Instruction in editing and proofreading. - 6STEP 7: PREPARING ACTIVITIES AND ROLES: When planning a lesson or a course, teachers tend to think about what they should to do: present a lesson on paragraph organization, lead a class discussion on editing a student paper, etc. If we have the correct answers to the questions we ask, students become passive pawns in a guessing game. That is why it is important that teachers are students too: in their own classrooms, writing reflective journals and, whenever possible, in that of another teacher. Paulo Freire (1988) calls the "banking" concept of education: depositing knowledge in the head of the students. We're sure you're not trying to cram too many things into our students' brains at one time, help if We think about what students will do and learn in the classroom rather than what students will do and learn in the classroom.STEP 8: CHOOSING TYPES AND METHODS OF FEEDBACK:
Here each teacher has many decisions to make: will someone answer and, if so, who?
What will be the method and type of response and what do I have time for? Which is the Purpose of my answer?
If the teacher is going to read the writing, the possible roles can be specified. then the teacher
You won't have to search and comment everything at once, in a single draft.
Second, the responder has a variety of physical methods to respond: a comment or a conversation with the writer; an interlinear response with computer software, using
features such as the ability to “Comment” and bug fixes; an audio-recorded response; or a written response.
Third, you have to select the type of answer you prefer to give, with time and class. size is an important factor in the decision.
Fourth, you and your students must agree on the purpose of the answer. - 7STEP 9: EVALUATING THE COURSE: Teachers use sentence tests and essay tests to assess student progress, use the results of these tests as well as questionnaires and own reflective logs to evaluate their own success as teachers. All semester students work on multiple drafts of their writing, which are guided by their instructor but not qualified. So the original instructor is a trainer, not an evaluator. These portfolios lead that students want to review, present their best work. 314 Ann Raimes teacher training tool. Respond to student writing: a healthy lesson. Probably enough problematic considerations have already been made about planning a writing course.STEP 10: REFLECTING THE TEACHER’S EXPERIENCE:
Metas, teorías, contenido, enfoque, programa de estudios, materiales, actividades, retroalimentación y evaluación del curso.
son cuestiones sustantivas que tenemos que abordar cada vez que diseñamos un curso de escritura. - 8The Writing Process and Process Writing In general terms, the writing process as a private activity can be considered to comprise four main aspects. stages: planning, writing, reviewing and editing. las etapas son ni secuencial ni ordenado. De hecho, como ha sugerido la investigación, "muchos buenos escritores emplean un enfoque recursivo y no lineal. PROCESS WRITING: The term writing process has been used for quite some time in ESL classrooms. He it is nothing more than a writing process approach to teaching writing. The writing process in the classroom is highly structured as it requires the orderly teaching of process skills and therefore cannot, at least initially, give way to a free variation of the writing steps mentioned above.PLANNING (PRE-WRITING):
Prewriting is any classroom activity that encourages students to write. stimulates
Thoughts to start. In fact, it prevents students from having to deal with a blank space.
GROUP BRAINSTORMING:
Spontaneity is important here. There are right or wrong answers. Students may first cover familiar ground and then move toward more abstract or wild territories.
CLUSTERING:
Students form words related to a stimulus provided by the teacher. The words are surrounded
and then joined by lines to show discernible groups.
RAPID FREE WRITING:
In a limited time of 1-2 minutes, individual students write freely and quickly single words and phrases on a topic. Time limit keeps writers minds going and thinking fast.
WH-QUESTIONS:
Students generate who, why, what, where, when, and how questions about a topic. This can continue indefinitely.
In addition, ideas for writing can be obtained from multimedia sources (for example, printed material).
materials, videos, films). - 9DRAFTING: Once enough ideas are gathered in the planning stage, the first attempt at writing writing – you can move on quickly. In the writing stage, writers focus on the fluency in writing and are not concerned with grammatical accuracy or neatness of the project. Depending on the genre of writing (narrative, expository, or argumentative), an introduction to the subject of writing can be a startling statement to hold the reader's attention. RESPONDING: It is the teacher's quick initial reaction to student drafts. The answer can be oral. or in writing, after students have produced the first draft and just before continuing review. The teacher will help students to rediscover meanings and will facilitate the review of initial concepts. REVISING: When students revise their texts based on the feedback provided in the response stage. They re-examine the writing to see how effectively they have communicated. The writer's intent becomes clearer to the reader.EDITING:
In this stage, students are dedicated to ordering their texts while preparing the final draft for evaluation by the teacher. Formal editing is postponed until this phase to that your application does not interrupt the free flow of ideas during writing and revision stages. A simple checklist could be given to students to alert them to some of the more common issues.
Sin embargo, no siempre se espera que los estudiantes sepan dónde y cómo corregir todos los errores, - 10EVALUATING: The teachers, claiming lack of time, have compressed the answers, the edition and the evaluation. When evaluating student writing, scoring can be analytical (ie, based on specific criteria). POST-WRITING: Post-writing is any classroom activity that the teacher and students can perform with the complete writings. The post-writing stage is a platform for recognizing that student work is important and valuable. IMPLEMENTING PROCESSWRITING: Here are some pointers which teachers may like to take note of when implementing process writing. TEACHER MODELLING: Teachers should model the writing process at every stage and teach specific writing strategies to students through meaningful classroom activities.RELATING PROCESS TO PRODUCT:
It is vital that as students move through the various stages of writing, they understand what type of product is expected at each stage.
WORKING WITHIN INSTITUTIONAL CONSTRAINTS:
Process skills can be taught systematically each time until the entire series of process skills has been learned.
CATERING TO DIVERSE STUDENT NEEDS:
The teacher may also decide to have students enter different writing groups as planners, writers, responders, reviewers, or editors during a writing session.
EXPLOITING THE USE OF COMPUTERS IN PROCESS WRITING:
The teacher can teach by responding.
or editing skills through the computer connected to an overhead projector.
Any work done can be saved in the
computer for later review. - 11A Genre-Based Approach to Content Writing Instruction: Research on writing has shown that students need be exposed to and have practice with various genres in addition to narrative writing. This is important for L1 English learners and crucial for L2 English learners. Since the 1980s, researchers have been analyzing the use of written language in primary education. The form and structure of language as an integral part of the meaningful use of language, a vision that it is considered increasingly important in academic L2 contexts. This approach has been a response to the occasional excesses of a process approach to writing instruction.THE STUDY
THE SETTING AND THE STUDENTS:
The student population is composed
of Native Americans, Hispanics, and European Americans mixed fairly evenly in each class in the whole school. There are also many students who speak English as a second.
The students came from homes where English is a second language language. - 12THE UNIT: I selected a regular social studies unit on explorers as the content material for this pilot unit. First I modeled new writing patterns for have students practice in class and in small groups before working independently. The progression of gender forms in writing instruction over the five-week period was descriptive, persuasive, and expository narrative. Students began to realize the importance of framing the beginning of a text rather than just jumping around and thus became increasingly aware of the reader's needs. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: I used various types of pre- and post-test measures to determine changes in student scores, writing, content knowledge, and attitudes. Through personal observation, regular classroom teacher feedback, and journal, tickets, I noticed that the students were enthusiastic about this approach.One of the least favorite subjects of the students in this class. However, after this instruction approach, most students commented that they liked social studies.
Through this process, the students became aware of my thoughts.
while making informal and thoughtful comments aloud while planning texts for the slide.
The students realized that different tasks required different texts. The explicit practice and guided support provided during the instructional period.
Rather, students must learn to respond to information and organizational demands of various environments.
Acknowledgments:
I would like to thank Bill Grabe for his help in shaping this paper and the two anonymous
reviewers for their comments. A special thanks to the class that participated in this study. - 13Teaching Students to Self-Edit: In the last two decades, the process approach to teaching writing has greatly improved. Composition pedagogy in both L1 and L2. Several studies affirm that the lack of grammatical precision in ESL student writing can impede student progress in college overal. As shown by several ESL editing textbooks (Ascher, 1993; Fox, 1992; Lane & Lange, 1993; Raimes, 1992a) and a teacher's reference on how to respond to ESL writing. ESL writing researchers and teachers have become more aware of the need to help students self-publish their writing.THE EDITING PROCESS:
Bates, Lane, and Lange (1993) and Hendrickson (1980) advocate teaching students a discovery approach through which they will become independent self-publishers.
STAGE 1: FOCUSING ON FORM:
Most editors think that students care more about the grammatical part of a language, even some have become too dependent on their teachers or tutors.
Instead of simply finding and fixing bugs, they look at how these bugs prevent their comprehension of the texts, as in the following three examples:
1. My parent always gave me a lot of love.
2. School is the place where I learn things such as reading and writing.
3. I like coffee; on the other hand, I also like tea. - 14STAGE 2: RECOGNIZING MAJOR ERROR TYPES: Research indicates that focusing on patterns of error, rather than individual errors, is more effective for both teachers and students. t seems true that it is easier to find errors in the work of others than his own. An alternative to whole-class instruction is to individualize the editing instruction with a editing manual. Additionally, many ESL writing textbooks include an editing section.STAGE 3: SELF-EDITING PRACTICE:
In the final phase, I ask students to find and correct their own mistakes and those of other students. - 15DOES THIS EDITING APPROACHWORK? they have developed the various components of this approach over several years. In order To assess its effectiveness, I undertook two small research projects (Ferris, 1994). As a result, I modified my instructional approach to edition during the following semester to allow a more individualized treatment of the student editing problems. Editing is one aspect of the writing process that ESL has somewhat neglected. With the introduction of new techniques and tools (such as editing manuals) to help students edit better editing book and better teachers.CONCLUSION:
Teaching writing is very difficult, because in a classroom we have different types of students, each of whom has a different learning process, but this has not limited the ESL program to improve the approach to teaching grammar writing. Likewise, all these techniques and examples have helped teachers to better understand their students and to use different techniques to teach a second language.
