Teaching+Writing


 * //What strategies, techniques, or process have you used effectively to teach writing? Do you have a favorite writing assignment? //**

Typically I like to teach writing integrated with other skills (listening, speaking/conversation, reading, grammar, and vocabulary). I feel students can write better (the hardest skill) if they have had ample exposure to the topic and if the topic has personal relevance. The following prompts are for descriptions, and show how students are led to arrive at their final product through speaking, brainstorming, seeing/reading a model, and finally writing a first draft, which is later revised and edited with instructor input.
