Teaching young learners how to write is a meticulous task which requires our unwavering devotion to detail, as it is considered by many to be the culmination of a multitude of well-developed language skills. Writing at a young age not only influences the learner to develop and express his critical thought, but will also inspire him to practice and assimilate the key elements of the target language.
- Techniques will be presented with the goal of addressing this issue, while also reflecting on the most common errors made by both educators and students alike.
- Considerations to encourage engagement, collaboration amongst peers, as well as recognition of proper register are key elements which will be weighed upon.
- Practical methods of influencing a young learner’s mind to develop his thought into the written form of communication, will be implemented in the presentation.
