4 Reflection

a. Look at the following quotes. To what extent do you agree? The writing process we have described operates whether people are writing emails, texting their friends, writing shopping lists, providing compositions for their English teachers or putting together a doctoral thesis. How much attention we give to the different stages of the process ... will largely depend ... on what kind of writing we are doing, what medium we are using, what the content and length of our piece is and who we are doing it for.

Harmer, J., (2004), How to Teach Writing, Pearson

Practice in suggesting corrections in their classmates' work helps learners to recognise errors in their own. When learners have to explain points to a partner, their own understanding is redefined and clarified. It requires them to think carefully about clarity and acceptability in writing.

Hedge, T., (1998), Writing, OUP

b. How could you use a process approach with younger learners? What aspects of the lesson in the video would you keep, adapt or change? Compare your reflections with a partner, if possible.

Transcripts and answers

Transcripts of trainer"s talk

2.1 Process writing: Part 1

When we write an important letter, we don't just sit down, write it and then send it off. We spend time

planning what we'll say, we spend time writing, changing and when we're happy with what we've written

we send it off. We follow, if you like, a kind of process - pre-writing, drafting, editing and publishing. So how does this process apply to teaching writing with our learners? Well it means that we should practise all the skills needed for the four stages of the process.

Now let's take a look at how this can work in practice with a mixed nationality class of young adults.

These students are taking part in a process writing lesson to help them prepare for a specific IELTs exam

question where they have to write a discursive essay of about 250 words. Now watch the film and make

notes to answer the questions in the viewing task. The answers will appear at the end of the sequence.

2.4 Lesson feedback, learning points and goals

In this section, students give feedback on the lesson activities. Take a look and answer the questions in

the viewing task.

In this final section, the students share what they've learned from the lesson. They also share learning

goals that they'll work on to continue improving their writing. Take a look and answer the question in the

viewing task.
