Workshop

The difficulty of getting students to become effective writers has been of concern to teachers over the years. As a student, I felt that the strategies used to motivate students to write were not successful. Students’ negative attitude towards writing made the teaching of writing a daunting task.

By participating in this writing workshop, I learnt a few steps that the teacher could have utilized in the classroom to make the writing process easier and interesting for students. It is important that teachers develop a plan before teaching a writing course. In planning, teachers must ensure that students have opportunities to practice at the different stages of the writing process. Teachers must be flexible incase the plan is not going as expected. It is also important that teachers have a holistic view on the different writing task that students will be participate in the classroom.
