UNIT 6 WRITING

WRITING




Writing is another skill in the language. However, this is different from reading because it is a productive skill because we try to produce the language. Nevertheless, reading and writing are closed related. It is because we use graphemes to express the language.

In writing we have four main approaches. The product approach, process approach, genre approach and the process genre approach. The most common approach that teacher use is the process genre because it can fix all the necessities from students. When we talk about necessities we are talking about the different text types there are in writing. Of course, one different from another in the level of formality. For example, we do not write in the same way to a friend than a teacher. Our level of formality change depending on the situation we face.

Besides, when we want to write about a certain topic, we follow different stages: Pre-writing, drafting, editing, proofreading, re-drafting. When we teach all of this play an important role because if we don’t teach how to write correctly, there will be a lot of problems along students.

Another important fact when we teach is to show a model of the writing. In this way, students will be counsious of what they are going to write. Finally, writing is to show or ideas, to make the readers understand our point of view. So that, they can agree with us.
