EXTRA WRITING TOPIC

Use the language and vocabulary presented in the unit to encourage students to write an

Work with your students on the type of audience for the email so as to make it more relevant.

Making writing communicative

Writing, like all other aspects of language, is communicative. Think about what we write in
real life. We write e-mails, lists, notes, covering letters, reports, curriculums, assignments,
essays perhaps if we study.
Some of us write articles or work on blogs, forums and websites. A few write stories and poems - but
very few. All of these writing tasks have a communicative purpose and a target audience. In the English
language classroom, however, writing often lacks this. Why? There are lots of reasons, as there are lots
of ways to make the writing we do with learners more communicative.
