Learning
English sometimes could be a pain in some students since they face problems
with writing skill because as we know when pronouncing English it is totally
different as it is written and for this reason, second language learners need
to be careful with this.
Moreover,
the information that was presented in the article for this week was king of interesting, since it is focused
in the writing skill while using technology and the tool that they mentioned
was “Wiki”, which is a website where anyone can edit anything anytime that it
is necessary. Beside, wikis are useful
for students to practice and develop writing by creating books report, poetry,
class blogs, short stories, and others.
Therefore,
Wiki it is a great tool to practice online writing as it is showed in the
article, which was focused in a writing lesson and students needed to create a
collaborative writing by using different prompts related with school, and this
article was required to pass through
many stages like to revise carefully each paragraph to then publish it. In my
opinion, it is a good idea to design wiki writing projects because promotes the use of technology and the improvement of students' writing competences.
Hi Vane,I agree with you in some points that you made in the topic for this week. the firs one when you said that pronounce a word is not he same that write the word, this problem occour when learners start learnig a new language. So as a teacher we need to be careful with this problem clariying to our studets that is not the same.
