  • 00:00:05
    writing skills to esl students one of
  • 00:00:08
    the
  • 00:00:08
    easiest ways to begin this process is to
  • 00:00:12
    think about how you can incorporate
  • 00:00:14
    writing into everyday tasks
  • 00:00:16
    have students make lists of things
  • 00:00:19
    supplies they need to bring in
  • 00:00:20
    or have them list their homework in
  • 00:00:22
    english give them
  • 00:00:25
    tasks with the real function where they
  • 00:00:26
    can begin to practice writing
  • 00:00:29
    and this will help make it more
  • 00:00:31
    approachable for them instead of
  • 00:00:32
    assigning some sort of big writing
  • 00:00:34
    project to them they can begin by
  • 00:00:36
    labeling things or making lists
  • 00:00:38
    and this will really help them to tune
  • 00:00:41
    into
  • 00:00:42
    english writing give them a chance to
  • 00:00:44
    practice in a really easy way
  • 00:00:47
    a notebook a writer's notebook is
  • 00:00:49
    another good way to get started where
  • 00:00:50
    they can just keep a notebook of their
  • 00:00:52
    ideas or things they've noticed
  • 00:00:53
    things they might someday want to write
  • 00:00:55
    about and make sure that they're using
  • 00:00:56
    english
  • 00:00:57
    in these um in the notebooks and this
  • 00:00:59
    will give them more practice
  • 00:01:00
    and then when you do come to the point
  • 00:01:02
    of assigning writing they'll have
  • 00:01:04
    somewhere to go to
  • 00:01:05
    to gather that an idea
  • 00:01:08
    now the writer's workshop in the esl
  • 00:01:12
    class is also a good way to begin to
  • 00:01:14
    model what that looks like what does
  • 00:01:16
    writing look like what does giving
  • 00:01:18
    feedback look like what is
  • 00:01:20
    doing a draft look like so writer's
  • 00:01:22
    workshop
  • 00:01:24
    is a model where students are writing
  • 00:01:25
    and then meeting one-on-one with
  • 00:01:28
    another writer in the group and getting
  • 00:01:30
    some feedback on their work
  • 00:01:31
    so this can be a good way for them to
  • 00:01:33
    practice their english conversation
  • 00:01:35
    with each other giving feedback in
  • 00:01:36
    english and also helping them to improve
  • 00:01:38
    their writing
  • 00:01:41

    really make it a little bit more fun for
  • 00:01:51
    them to try out their writing
  • 00:01:54
    the illustrations can help them

    begin to express ideas as they're
  • 00:02:00
    becoming more comfortable with writing

    continue to also look for topics that
  • 00:02:05
    they'll be really interested in
  • 00:02:07
    things that they can really feel like an
  • 00:02:10
    expert when they're writing
