The wide spread of the internet can help in teaching ESL students. To be specific , Integrating internet in teaching can improve students ' writing skill. For instance, a teacher can create a website for the students, and make this website as a diary for them. I mean, students write their daily activities in the website. Moreover, the teacher can ask them to write about their ideas, thoughts, wishes, issues and other topics which can made a discussion. To encourage students creativity, the teacher can ask the students who like to write poems and stories to share their writing in the website. These kinds of activity which can be done by the facilities of the internet can help forcing students to write. It also encourages students write by using other tools such as online dictionary, and search web to get new writing ideas.
writing by using internet technology can increase the students motivations and self esteem. Students would feel proud of writing their own ideas, and of presenting their writing creativity with not just the teacher, but also with other classmates.
Internet has a great advantages to encourage students to write. Actually, the practices I've mentioned would increase students to work cooperatively and competitively.

I like the idea of creating a website and enable students not just to learn through it but to share their ideas also.Most students like free writing especially if it's about their daily lives.Actuallu,it's more interesting and not stress like some topics which are given by a teacher.
ReplyDeleteyou are right.Creating a website is a good idea to encourage students to write and share their writing experience with others.It has many advantages which make the writing more interisting for them.They can use Microsoft Word befor puting their materials in the website to check their spelling and grammar.This will help them to realize their mistakes and avoid them next time.
ReplyDeleteThank you Aidah, it ia a good topic.
