The Power of Words - A Communicative Approach to Academic Writing
Abstract
Academic writing can be viewed as tedious, especially by teenage learners. This workshop focuses on communicative activities that help students understand the writing process and build confidence in their abilities. Exercises include different approaches to brainstorming, peer review, and editing practice, as well as understanding the components of basic, five-paragraph essay structure. All activities emphasize collaboration and student-centered learning.
