UNIT 6: Writing
Writing is a process in which symbols (letters
or punctuation marks, numbers, and spaces) are used to communicate. To write
clearly it is necessary to understand the basic system of a language. In
English includes knowledge of grammar, punctuation, and sentence
structure.
The essential key to this skill is that it
forms part of the productive skills of the English language as well as
speaking. At the time of writing, we must coherently unite our ideas.
Below is a table that gathers the writing's
subskills.
The
writing subskills related to communicating our ideas include using appropriate style
and register with cohesive texts.
Cohesive
devices:
When
talking about a correct way to join ideas we can find the cohesive devices that
basically make sure that the texts make sense. An example of text is the essays
that are made up of paragraphs. Paragraphs are the union of ideas that
make sense and that are related to each other to give the meaning of a topic.
There
are many examples of cohesive devices and according to the first module of TKT
test we can find some of them with the following illustrative example of the
module you can get a better idea of them:
Stages
of Writing
There
are a series of stages of writing that help the person to write in a better way
and organize their ideas:
• Developing ideas
• Planning/organizing ideas
• Drafting/writing the first draft (the
first version (or form) of a piece of writing,
that may well be changed)
• Editing (correcting and improving the
general content of the text)
• Proofreading (checking for mistakes and
correcting)
• Re-drafting (writing a second/final version of your piece of writing)
Activities that can be developed:
The activities are a creative way in which the
teacher in charge can have a better management of the subject, that is, that
the class environment is appropriate for the students and that they gain the
motivation to be able to develop their writing skills in a better way.
Many activities help in accuracy
and communication development.
Key Words:
