- 1TEACHING WRITING (Cambridge University Press, Methodology in Language Teaching)The skills involved in writing are highly complex.
- 2Step I: Ascertaining Goals and Institutional ConstraintsAddressing comfort, confidence, and fluency as a goal would lead to a very different course from one that sees as its goal the production of an academic essay.
- 3Step 2: Deciding on Theoretical PrinciplesTeachers first need to confront their ideological position and recognize their perceptions of the relationship between the type of writing they teach and the roles they are preparing students for.
- 4Step 3: Planning ContentWriting provides us with a way not only to generate ideas before presenting them to an audience, but also to scrutinize the ideas and language we produce; this re-vision, this seeing again, let us receive feedback from ourselves and others.
- 5Step 4: Weighing the ElementsFocusing on grammar, rhetorical modes, and models of academic discourse, to provide neat systems to teach.
- 6Step 5: Drawing Up a Syllabus- Structural. (Sentence patterns)
- Functional. (Examples)
- Topical. (Themes)
- Situational. (Situations)
- Skills and processes.
- Tasks. (Problem-solving) - 7Step 6: Selecting MaterialsThe materials have to fit as far as possible with the goals, principles, content, and weighting that we have already decided on.
- 8Step 7: Preparing Activities and RolesThink about what students will be doing and learning in the classroom rather than the comprehensiveness of the information we will be imparting.
- 9Step 8: Choosing Types and methods of FeedbackIf the teacher is to read the writing, the possible roles can be specified and distinguished: general reader, helper, copy editor, or examiner.
- 10Step 9: Evaluating the CourseOne form of evaluation that is becoming increasingly popular in writing coursed actually helps to combine student evaluation and course evaluation: the use of portfolios.
- 11Step 10: Reflecting the Teacher's ExperienceAny teacher who tests out a new approach and notes its effects is a researcher, theorist, and practitioner - a busy person.
- 12The writing process and process writingFour main stages: planning, drafting, revising and editing.
Process writing is a writing process approach to teach writing. - 13Planning (pre-writing)It stimulates thoughts for getting started.
- 14DraftingThe writers are focused on the fluency of writing and are not preoccupied with grammatical accuracy or the neatness of the draft.
- 15RespondingResponding to student writing by the teacher (or by peers) has a central role to play in the successful implementation of process writing.
- 16RevisingWhen students revise, they reexamine what was written to see how effectively they have communicated their meanings to the reader.
- 17EditingStudents are engaged in tidying up their texts as they prepare the final draft for evaluation by the teacher.
- 18EvaluatingIn order to be effective, the criteria fro evaluation should be made known to students in advance.
- 19Post-WritingIt constitutes any classroom activity that the teacher and students can do with the completed pieces of writing.
