Teaching
Writing
Writing is
the most difficult
subject in the school
since the students
have to produce a
text by using
English. They have
to write about
what they think
in their mind and state it on a paper by using the correct procedure.
Meyers (2005: 2) states that writing is a way to produce language you do
naturally when you speak. Writing is speaking to other on paper or on a
computer screen. Writing is also an action – a process of discovering and organizing
your ideas, putting them on a paper
and reshaping and
revising them. In
other words, Palmer
(1994: 5) states that
writing is recursive.
It goes back
and forth we
plan a little,
put words on paper, stop to plan when we want to say
next, go back and change a sentence, or change our minds altogether.
Harmer (2004:
86) states that
writing is a
process and that
we write is often heavily influenced by constraints of
genres, then these elements have to be present
in learning activities.
Boardman (2002: 11)
states that writing
is a continuous process
of thinking and
organizing, rethinking, and
rerganizing. Writing is a
powerful tool to
organize overwhelming events
and make them manageable. Writing is really a form of
thinking using the written word. Writing
is a
process of steps,
from the idea
to the finished
manuscript. Students will improve
their writing as
they increase their
ability to complete
each step in the
process. An assessment of student writing that includes review and discussion
of each step will
help students understand
what works in
their writing and
why it works. From the
definitions above I can conclude that writing is a way to produce language that
comes from our
thought. It is
written on a paper or
a computer screen.
Among many
different kinds of
exam tasks that
are currently in
use, the following are
some of the
most common, there
are: applications latter
and CVs, articles, reports,
and reviews, description
of pictures, paintings,
or events, discursive compositions,
leaflets, letters (informal
and formal), narratives, transactional letters (Meyers,
2005: 8-9).
From the definitions above the
writer can conclude that writing is a way to produce language
that comes from
our thought. By
using writing, we
can share our idea,
feeling or anything
that exist in
our mind. It
is written on
a paper or a
computer screen. It
is influenced both
by the personal
attitudes and social experiences that
the writer brings
to write and
the impacts of
the particular political and
institutional contexts.
