At the moment, most of the teachers of English are trying their best to make their students improve their written English.But how to improve writing level isn’t easy. You should put hearts into it and pay much more attation to the grammar knowledge,spelling,sentences,phrases and so on.I’ll tell you my ideas about how to improve your students’ writing level.
First of all, we had better ask our students to make some simple sentences according to the English grammar knowledge. If they can write down some corrct sentences,they are sure to write some passages.Sometimes we can still let them translate a few interesting sentences.If they keep on making sentences, they will be confident in writing compositions.Because phrases and sentences are the basic requirement for the students of English.
Secondly, we can ask our students to discuss about the interesting and instructive topics.For example,the students have learned somethinbg about travel.Let them discuss where they have ever been to and which places are beautiful and interesting.First,we can ask them to write down the outlines of the story.In my opinion,this is one of the most effective methods to improve their writing skills.In this way,they'll be interested ion expressing their ideas in English.In fact,interest is the best teacher in learing everything.So I suggest that we teachers of English should develop the studentsi’ interests.Step by step,they are glad and active to write compositions.The teachers needn’t force them to write,while they'll be active to express their thoughts.
Thirdly, I suggest that we should guide our students to write after they have finished looking at some interesting and instructive pictures which are formed onto a story. At the beginning,we had better guide them to have some discussion about it.Then they can make up a whloe story in the limited time.I advise that the pictures we’ll choose should be easy for them to read .If they can understand the maening of the story very easily,they are able to express their ideas better,otherwise they'll be bored
Fourthly, our students should try to form good habits of making diaries every day, at least they had better write down some stories every week. As teachers of English, we should encourage them to write more in English.On the other hand, we should be strict in our work and with our students. We should ask our students to hand in their compositions on time and ought to check their articles in time.
My last advice is that we can hold some English Composition Competition regularly. We’ll give the excellent students some prizes and put up their compositions on the wall of the classrooms.By doing this,they are willing to write once they have free time.They'll be interested in it.If some of them can really write wonderful aticles,we can introduce their articles to some English magazines or newspapers,such as English Weekly, which is very popular to most of the middle school students in our country.
All in all, it’s very important and necessary for us teachers of English to improve our students writing level. We should try all kinds of the most advanced methods to teach them to write more and better. The more,the better!
