In this method, teachers actively engage in the pre-writing process, understand what's involved in the skill of writing and encourage creative writing rather than just assigning topics and correcting final drafts. If you are looking to enhance your students' writing skills through fun and interactive activities, consider enrolling in this course that focuses on essential writing subskills and their development in the classroom. Learn to produce a piece of writing using a process writing framework.The course starts on 3 October. | | | | A Teach English in India newsletter | | | © British Council
