29.9 Shorter writing activities
The two approaches above can take time to complete. If you want to include short writing tasks into your lessons, here are two ideas:
(i) After a reading or listening activity, choose a character from the text or recording. Ask students to imagine they are that character and to write a postcard, e-mail or letter in character. Remember to define the audience by indicating who the correspondence will be sent to, e.g. friend or family member.
(ii) If you want to revise the organisation of a certain style of essay or the format of a letter, you can prepare an essay or letter, cut it up and ask students to reorganise it.
29.10 Using computers
If you have access to computers for use with your classes, it is good to have your students do their written work on the computer. Organise the students in pairs or groups and have them create their piece of writing on the screen. They will be able to edit their work more easily on the screen than work handwritten in a book. The benefit of working in pairs or groups is that there will be real collaboration and discussion surrounding the piece of writing. Before starting out, you should choose whether you want students to use the spell check or not and set up the programmes or give instructions accordingly.
29.11 Penpals
This is something that motivated me to write when I was at school and it still works today. Students can get very involved with penpals. The advantage today is that students can correspond by e-mail; a quick response to their e-mails is far more motivating than waiting 2 weeks for the post to come around!
Try to set up a penpal project for your students. You can match them with people in another country or city; you can find such possibilities on TEFL websites and in TEFL chat forums. If you don’t come across any, try to match your students up with students in another school in the same city or even with a different class in the same school.
You can allow time in class for conversing with penpals and encourage students to continue outside the class. If you don’t do penpal work in class, let students know that you’re interested in them and their penpals. Ask them how they are getting on, what they are learning about the other person and what language they are learning. Do this without criticising those who are not participating.
