Teaching Early Writing to ESL/EFL Learners

In this book, I give teachers step-by-step instructions to teach the basics of handwriting and writing freely for communicating and giving meaning by showing them (with model lesson plans) how to teach writing a paragraph, letter, and email to their students.

In addition, I give guidelines for some useful prewiring activities and how to do them with students in the classroom.

After finishing reading this book, teachers will be able to:

• Recognize the four writing levels and the knowledge and skills students need to master each level.
• Make students familiar with the shapes of the letters by doing some activities.
• Teach the five components of English handwriting.
• Recognize types of writing activities and how to do each type.
• Do some motivating prewriting activities with students, step-by-step.
• Use the process approach to teaching early writing.
• Teach paragraph writing using the process writing approach.
• Teach letter writing with a guiding lesson plan.
• Teach email writing with a guiding lesson plan.
