includes both the process and product of

2. To recall adequate and appropriate vocabulary and use it properly in
sentences.

marks for clarity of ideas.
4. To encourage the students to express their ideas in writing in an
organised and systematic way.
5. To develop the communicative competence through writing.
Principles of teaching composition
Principle of proper selection: topics should be meaningful and should appeal to every
student and they should be able to comprehend the content.
Principle of gradation: topics should be selected according to the age, ability and the
intellectual level of the students.
Principle of utility: to make things easier the topics selected should be related to day to
day life of the students.
Principle of oral practice: to reduce the chances of making mistakes in writing, oral
composition practice should be given to the students.
Principle of sequence: the subject matter should be arranged in proper sequence for the
students to grasp the concept.
Principle of follow-up: after pointing out the difficulties and problems of the students,
