Writing techniques to develop writing skills in children of the third basic level of school

Abstract:

Nowadays it is very important for a teacher to know as many techniques as possible in order to improve the teaching - learning process. We focused our project on how to improve writing skills using good writing techniques. The use of a good writing technique in the class helps the students to write something in English easily. We chose two important ones, which are: Graphic organizers and note cards. The first one can be used as a warm up or feedback, and the second one as an instrument of evaluation. It is important to mention that we based our project on the Ausubel s theory of meaningful learning and previous knowledge. Students must know that learning English is really important and useful for their future, so every single word they learn in class is really important to build their knowledge. During the application we realized the students enjoy the new technique, so this helps the teacher to keep the students active in class, and the homework done by the students gives real evidence of what they have learnt in class. As a conclusion we can say that graphic organizers and note cards are really good tools to improve the teaching learning process and to help the students write easily
