Writing for the net: Tips

Developing Materials for Language Teaching (Tomlinson. Ed), 2014

The choice of materials available to teachers is almost infinite, ranging from YouTube clips to research articles, but their effectiveness ultimately depends on the role that they are required to play in the instructional process and on the extent they relate to the learning needs of students. This chapter will consider both these issues and then go on to discuss using textbook and inter-net materials and ways to develop materials.

This article examines how the Internet can be used to ease the process of writing by suggesting resources for the planning, writing and revising stages and how they can be used to carry out a writing task. One of such resources is the Blackboard platform, which serves as a discussion tool and for teacher-to-student and student-to-student feedback. A pedagogical proposal for a writing task is explained with activities (i.e. invention and organizing techniques; peer and teacher evaluation using the Blackboard platform; activities to practice argumentative skills, the five-paragraph essay and paragraph structure; and evaluation sheets with criteria for correction on the Blackboard platform) that can be of help to students and teachers alike: to students, in the task of writing an effective essay and to teachers, in their role as lesson designers, information providers and classroom managers. Keywords L2 writing, Web 2.0 applications, planning, writing/transcribing, revising, Blackboard platform, process approach, invention techniques, five-paragraph essay, Internet resources.

A perennial difficulty for first year students - one often viewed by them as an unimportant annoyance - is the need to handle sources and cite correctly. Any serious institutional attempt to address this issue in an interesting way is an enterprise concerned with motivation, as well as curriculum innovation. This paper reports on a collaboration between language and learning staff and a Computer Science subject leader to develop a web-based tutorial which provides tools for students to use to develop, inter alia, skills in using sources. The tutorial seeks to provide online learning support for interpreting an IT assignment topic, extracting information from sources, and integrating the material into a report with the support of online lexical tools. The project's origins lie in the evidence from previous years' experience that first-year students find this a particularly challenging task.
