CORRECTING WRITTEN WORK

CORRECTING WRITTEN WORK

1. CONCEPT

   • Excessive correction can have a very demotivating effect on students.
     • The teacher has to strike a balance between being accurate, truthful, and on the one hand, being sensitive and sympathetic, for the students.
     • To avoid this problem, teachers must correct something specific, for example ( punctuation, or only spelling or only grammar, etc.) warning students.

2. TASK WRITING

   • Writing assignments should help students practice that skill.
     • Transitions
       • Students learn to write more fluid sentences by combining sentences using words like and, but, though, if, when, then, and therefore.
     • Punctuation
       • To write well, one must be able to use English punctuation correctly.
     • Spelling
       • Dictation is useful for drawing attention to English spelling and pronunciation.
     • Organization
       • The more powerful and creative the writer is, the more advanced their organization skills are in general.
     • Form
       • Through writing, students practice various forms and styles, from writing letters to writing stories.

3. WRITING SUGGESTIONS

   • Instant writing
     • Those where students are asked to write immediately in response to a teacher request.
       • for example, ‘My favourite relative is ...’ or ‘I will never forget the time I ...’).
     • Instant writing is designed both to make students comfortable when writing, and also
   • Brochures and guides:
     • We can get students to look at a variety of brochures to analyse how they are put together.
       • They can then write their own brochure or town guide.

4. WRITING SUGGESTIONS

   • Poetry
     • Writing poems allows students to express themselves in many ways.
       • But we will have models to help them write, since many of them will not be used to this type of writing.
     • Poetry writing is especially appropriate for younger students and older students as it allows them to be more creative than is allowed in other activities.
   • Writing to each other
     • The email interview is an example of getting students to write to each other. They can also write emails, or any other kind of message.
