Writing is one of the production skills in which EFL students show most difficulties and therefore sometimes becomes a frustrating aspect in their learning process. Since I have been teaching English I have included some learning strategies into my classes to help my students to improve their writing skills. One that I used during my experience as a pre-service teacher was to encorage the students the use of :
- Brainstorming
- Oulining
- Organizing
- Editing
Some years after I have included the written reports where my students wrtite a paper based on the grammar seen in class and within an specific topic, following the steps of writing and using a list of connectors given at the very begining of the course.
