“The art of developing writing skills: Preparing students for examinations and real-life tasks.”
In this session, we will focus on how we can help learners effectively develop both their communicative competence and their writing skills. We will discuss common problems that learners encounter when writing and see how we, as teachers, can address those problems. We will also look at some activities that can help our students with generating ideas, planning, and organization, and we will discuss different ways of giving feedback. This approach enables learners to use the English language to communicate successfully in a wide variety of situations, ranging from the more informal everyday use of the language to more formal exam requirements.
