HOW TO TEACH WRITING IN TIENG ANH 12 EFFECTIVELY?

I/ INTRODUCTION

English is a main subject in senior high school being taught in three or four

periods a week. Writing is one of the four skills that we have to acquire in the

process of English learning .To master a language in general and English in

particular we must develop all four skills – listening , speaking, reading and

writing. However, how we can develop each of them successfully is a big

problem for all concerned .In the process of learning a language , especially

English, writing is considered as the last language skill to be acquired.It is last

but not least and I find it rather difficult to do it well because writing in one’s

mother tongue is difficult but writing in a foreign language is far more difficult.

Besides, when teachers teach writing , they usually fall into teaching grammar

structures and focus on correction. On the whole they mainly provide students

with sentence structures, sets of grammar rules, then then give them a task and

ask them to complete the task. As a result , the students become passive to get

correct answers or to correct grammar errors. But we, English teachers , should

remember that the main point of teaching writing is teaching the students how to

write , not to test their writing.

Today, I would like to discuss some difficulties in teaching and learning

English through writing and the solutions to them and some of my experience in

teaching writing in TIENG ANH 12.

II/ CONTENTS : How to teach Writing in Tieng Anh 12 effectively?

1/ The problems in teaching and learning English through Writing and

the solutions to them

The problems: a/The problems in getting students to write in the classroom

• Students don’t understand things what they will write about;

• They have nothing to write because they have lack of ideas and limited

vocabulary to express their opinions and they are disabled to use structures

,style or language in English standards.

• They don’t have enough time to write.

• Some students don’t participate in group works

b/. The typical mistakes a teacher might get:

• Teacher doesn’t get students to think about the topic or situation; to collect all

their idea, language focus (vocabulary, grammar) before writing about it (not

perfectly).

• Teacher doesn’t set up a pre task;

• Teacher neither gives clear instructions nor checks them

• Teacher doesn’t give suitable framework or outline.

• Sometimes teacher gives tasks without helpful cues.

• Teacher doesn’t do a lot of assisting weaker students.

c.Some writing tasks in textbook are not relevant

The solutions




3

As teachers of English, we should understand the role of the teacher in

teaching writing: The teacher is a motivator, a resource and a feedback

provider.

- Teacher motivates students, creating the right conditions for them to

generate their own ideas.Teacher gets students involved in creative writing

activity so that students find it easier to generate ideas.

- Teacher should provide information and language where necessary.Teacher

offers advice and suggestions in a constructive and tactful way.

- Teacher should give feedback on students‟ writing tasks with special

care.Teacher should respond positively and encouragingly to the content of

students‟ written work.Teacher chooses kind of mistake to focus on when

correcting their written work. Overcorrection should be avoided.

a/Things that a teacher does to improve the students’ problems and help them

with free writing :

• To set up a pre – task (doesn’t talk about what the students must do, instead

shows them what/ how to do by giving a demonstration with suitable

framework/ outline/ helpful cues);

• To give clear instructions ( keep them short and simple) and check them;

• To care all students, especially, do a lot of assisting weaker students; to hold

classroom in effective working.

• To teach Ss: When they do not understand something, they should ask their

teacher, they shouldn’t stay silent.

There are two kinds of writing in grade 12 : controlled writing and free

writing .

Controlled writing consists of gap-filling , re-ordering sentences and sentence-

building.

Free writing consists of letter writing, paragraph writing, report writing, giving

instructions and describing chart / book / a sporting event

Problem for free writing: When facing a free writing such as writing a

paragraph to describe their own town or village, many students would probably

find it quite difficult and make many mistakes. If so they would find the task

frustrating and probably not learn very much from it. Students would probably

approach the task in different way and produce a wide variety of different

paragraphs.

Thus the only way to correct their work would be individually, book by book,

this would be very time consuming for the teachers.

Therefore, Teachers should help students progress beyond very controlled

writing to free writing by guiding their writing ( GUIDED WRITING)

+ Giving cues.

+ Giving a short text as a model.

+ Doing oral preparation for the writing.

Modelling




4

- Reading a model and noticing certain grammatical features / vocabulary /

useful expressions / text organisation / style…

- Putting different parts of the text onto a writing frame

- Sequencing a jumbled text

- Comparing and contrasting two forms of text of the same genre

Some examples of oral preparation for the writing

• discussing

• brainstorming

• observing and interpreting photos or artwork

• watching video clips

• using writing templates/ frames / cloze exercises

• mapping

• Brain writing

• Using matrix

b/Facilitating writing tasks:Tasks adaptation and implementation * Making tasks easier:

- Breaking down tasks

- Scaffolding

- Lowering requirements

*Making tasks more challenging/more interesting

Ex:

UNIT 4 ( English 12)

rather difficult

• Provide the format

• Provide verbs to support

• Put students into groups (Each group will write about one thing)

UNIT 5 ( English 12)

• Provide a model letter

UNIT 14( English 12)

• Play a game to explain WWF, WHO and the UN by using their logos in

Reading lesson

• Draw a table on the board

• Ask students which organization they would like to work for. Then use

reasons provided into correct column

• - Ask and answer in pairs about their choices

• - Report their choices or their partners’ choices


Difficult (especially the ways of writing)

• Explain the chart

• Provide more detailed information

• Ask and answer about questions in the textbook

• (Teachers need to prepare the complete set of answers for task 1)




5

• Put all answers on the board in random and ask them to work in group to

reorder the sentences to make a passage.

• Comment and highlight some verbs and phrases used to describe a chart.


Give cues and outline

c/ Teachers should master the following writing techniques Pre-writing Techniques

• Using a drill

• Using a listening text

• Using a reading text

• Using a survey

• Using picture dictation

While-writing Techniques

Transformation

- Substitution tables

- Substitution boxes

- Gap-fill

- Questions and answers

- Ordering

Post-writing Techniques

- Correction (Ss correct and re-draft their texts)

- Sharing and comparing (Sharing when they write texts based on different

topics; comparing when they write texts based on the same topics).

- Exhibition (Ss share, compare, admire, pick a winner, copy others…)

2/ Teacher’s careful lesson plan, especially Warm-up( in PRE-

WRITING) Warm- up : warm-up is necessary to excite the atmosphere of the class and to

increase students’ motivation in the lesson. In this case, I can use matching games ,

pictures, questions, songs…

These are some examples about “ warm-up” in my teaching Writing ( Tieng

Anh 12):

UNIT 1 –ENGLISH 12 : HOME LIFE

D. WRITING : Warm -up - T gives Ss the question: “Make as many sensible sentences as you can by joining

the elements in the following pattern table”

My parents

come home late

do the housework

use the motorbike




6

( not ) permit talk on the phone with friends

- T has some Ss read their sentences in front of class

Suggested answers :

My parents don’t let me come home late. I have to do the housework….

Teacher leads to the new lesson : In each family there are some rules that

we must follow . Let’s WRITE about our family rules

UNIT 3 – ENGLISH 12 :WAYS OF SOCIALISING

D.WRITING : Warm -up

Goodbye” what should you say? ( Ss can give out the Vietnamese saying )

- T : Today we’ll practise writing about ways to tell someone goodbye and

ways to apologize.

UNIT 4 – ENGLISH 12 :SCHOOL EDUCATION SYSTEM

D. WRITING : Warm -up

T has Ss work in pairs and make dialogues using the following questions:

1. When does a child start school in Vietnam?

__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

- T divides the class into 2 teams

- T tells Ss from each team to take turns to guess the individual letter of the word. - If the letter appears in the word, the teacher writes it in the right position.

- Each time they get wrongly, a section is added to a simple picture of a hanging man. If this picture is

complete, the man “hangs” and the students have lost the game.

- Ss guess the individual letter of the word. R e q u e s t l e t t e r

III/ CONCLUSION

During the time of researching and applying the techniques above, I have realized

that they are very useful for developing the students’ writing skill if we use them

suitably and flexibly, such as at the right levels, at the right stages of teaching, kinds

of suitable language and so on. Successful lessons depend on the teacher’s knowing

and using a variety of teaching methods which are appropriate to the students at

different levels. We should always identify our students’ problems and try to

include in our lessons different types of activities so that we can help them

overcome their problems and give them more opportunities to practice, experiment

and explore.Little by little our students are becoming more confident of themselves

through pair work and group work. They have real chances to develop their English

and feel more interested in it.

Although I have made a lot of effort to carry out the work, I myself feel that I

cannot have more creation, give out more new and interesting techniques and can’t

help having mistakes. I’d like you to give frank comments and help me to have

more interesting things about this subject.

Many thanks.
