Teaching Writing in the EFL Classroom
We have created a podcast to complement this

Basic Concepts:
Teaching writing is often about teaching
grammar. If grammar comes up anywhere in
EFL, it is in the writing classroom.
Most EFL students will have some writing skills when you get them. But they will often have an idea that their
writing is quite good and generally it will be quite poor.
Many EFL students will have had some experience with
paragraph and essay writing, but, in fact, they often will have quite poor
writing skills at the sentence level.
Therefore, you will need to take them back to sentence level and begin
to teach them very basic structure and how to write simply. Run-on and fragmented sentences will be very
common until you correct those errors.
The more basic you get with your writing students,
the better. Once a good foundation is
built, you can move on to basic paragraph writing and on to essays. These skills take time to develop though and
you will find that most textbooks will move your students forward too quickly.
