WRITING I

Second Term

Introduction
Writing is an important process involving a number of skills, so the aim of each writing
exercise is to learn and gain practice in this particular skill. The issues of grammatical
accuracy and spelling must also be applied by encouraging students to write and get
feedback on their own work. It is mandatory effectively communicate in written to
develop the proper understanding of the message, to convey not only the cold case
information, but the feelings, emotions and explicit reality of the writer.

DIDACTIC ORIENTATION

Above all, writing is a communicative act, and the writing exercises provide tasks that
lead students to share their ideas, and with the help of correction symbols provided,
they also have the opportunity to take initiative in correcting their own work and
become better writers.
To use a certain tense, word form or expression is vital. Therefore, I highly recommend
getting a good grammar reference as quickly as you can. Another point to consider is
that a good level grammar guide is really appropriate for teaching non-native speakers.
I recommend good English dictionaries to look for slangs and phrasal verbs.
It is suggested to work out rules and to work out what is the most probable choice in
particular contexts, what is called inductive learning.
