Default Re: Any ideas in teaching writing?

Welcome to ESLHQ, Hartini.

Do you incorporate writing in your classes? For example, the students work in groups to write stories or dialogues with the target language? Do you assign them homework, such as writing a diary or a page on a topic that interests them? I usually do both and have seen positive results.

If you want to incorporate writing in a larger project, have the students make videos. They need to write the scripts, practice them, act them out (with props!), video the scene, and then show the class for a critique. Everyone gets very, very involved. It's a lot of fun.
