You ask your students to write and you get blank stares. Then the questions, “How many sentences?” “Can you help me?” “How do you say…? You know writing is an essential and useful skill in language learning, but it often feels like a chore for students.
Writing is often approached as a major task. It is long, high-stakes, and can be overwhelming. Without consistent, low-pressure practice, students miss out on opportunities to build writing confidence and proficiency over time.
This 30-minute PD course, for the small price of $10, will show you how to integrate short, meaningful writing tasks into your daily instruction. You’ll learn how to:
- Understand the role of frequent, low-stakes writing in building confidence and proficiency
