How to teach writing? - Jeremy Harmer
This document summarizes Jeremy Harmer's book "How to Teach English" and provides guidance on teaching writing. It discusses that writing is important for language development and reinforces visual and mental skills. Teachers should consider students' interests and abilities when assigning writing tasks. Writing sequences should start simply and become more complex, from elementary to advanced levels. Teachers are advised to correct writing by having students self-correct or using symbols rather than red ink, and to accommodate different handwriting styles when possible. The document also notes that writing fits well into the "Engage, Study, Activate" teaching model and can promote literature and journaling.

Teaching writing
Of the 4 skills, writing is arguably the most problematic for learners and often the most challenging
for teachers. Writing is not easy particularly when compared with speaking, where
reformulations, body language, clues from listeners can do much to compensate for a lack of
precision or inaccuracies when communicating messages. Time is also a factor – writing may be
relegated to homework tasks as there is often a feeling that writing in class uses up time which can
be more usefully spent on other activities. However, as this workshop aims to show, developing
good writing skills is conducive to the development of other language skills including
communication skills.
