UNIT 6 WRITING


In Unit 6, writing was the topic that we review. This is a productive skill through it we produce language also it is said that Writing is the visual representation of a language. Writing is an integrate skill because we have to read and write at the same time. However, to master this skill the writer must know about grammar rules, punctuation, and sentence structure. In addition, it is also necessary to know vocabulary and correct spelling of English words.

There are two mean writing subskills accuracy and communicating a message. Accuracy involves the correct use of language. Also it includes correct spelling, writing legible and correct punctuation. Furthermore, when we write we must take into account the features typical of each type of writing in order to use appropriate functions and cohesive devices. The stages of writing are drafting, editing, proofreading and re-drafting. This stages form part of the process of writing through it we could write correctly and improve the quality of your writing project.


To teach writing me as a teacher could start writing simple tasks and then we could go to more complex ones the teacher must be a guide for students through this process.  In order to master this skill I could recommend to practice a lot. 

This video will provide us some tips to improve our writing skill.

  1. To implement writing in classroom we need to teach students writing through a process. For instance, it coul be good to apply with students the process approach or the process genre approach for developing better the writing skill.

  2. I think that as a futures teachers we have to pay attention in the subskills first because in that way students can produce an excellent piece of paper. Afterwards, I consider teach them the process of the writing will be more effective.
