Saving Teachers Time: Efficient Activities for Editing, Correcting, and Improving Student Writing
Writing is a vehicle for improving many aspects of knowledge about a second language, and learning to edit their own writing is an integral skill for all English language learners. Teaching students to edit their writing takes time, but the process can be easier if you use a variety of concrete tasks that are relevant to learner needs. In this workshop, we will look at some editing activities that can improve student writing and reduce teacher workload, always a winning combination. These activities focus on several aspects of writing, including vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics.
