Teach Writing to Beginner Level Students
Teaching adult, non-native speakers how to write English requires two things. One, an awareness of how hard it is to learn English writing from a low starting point. Two, core activities that support skills development and build confidence. In that regard, here are 4 writing activities that work well with beginner adults.
Writing is Thinking: Summarize and Analyze
Is writing a simple act of organizing words on a piece of paper? No, writing is more than that. Writing is thinking. So the question for teachers is, how do we get students learning English to think? One way is to ask students to summarize and analyze.
Beyond Writing: What else can be done?
Can writing be a transformative experience for students learning English? That’s the question I want to tackle after reading some exciting research that suggests specific kinds of writing assignments can help change a person’s life. It’s an idea with considerable potential, but can it be adapted to an ESL setting?
