- Understand the structure of an argument-led essay;
- Fully and logically support and develop an idea;
- Make use of cohesive devices in their writing; and
- Produce a well-organized discussion essay
III. TEACHERS' NOTE
- It is utterly important for teachers to stress the objectives and rationales at the
beginning of each session.
- The course follows a PPP (Presentation-Practice-Product) approach.
- Writing theories in this book are presented in 2 ways: fully or partially (with blanks
given for students to fill in). For each theory, teachers can choose materials that
suit their teaching style.
- In-class writing activities are mostly group works to increase interaction in the
classroom. Students can produce their works on transparencies and teachers
can show them to the whole class afterwards. Thus, materials for those activities
should be printed on transparencies and handed out to groups.
- As this course is the first time students have ever been introduced to the writing
task II, teachers' correction should always focus on the organization of students'
writings, and their abilities to develop supporting ideas.
- Teachers should bear in mind that it is more important for students to
successfully develop a supporting idea than come up with one. Therefore, during
brainstorming process, teachers can feed students with some supporting ideas,
yet let them develop those ideas on their owns.
