Language Learning
English Program
Build confidence, communication skills, and a lifelong enjoyment of writing.
Writing With Purpose
Writing Is Communication
One of the biggest challenges teachers have faced in the classroom has to do with writing. Usually students do not want to write, because they have never been encouraged to do it or to enjoy it.
Writing, like all other aspects of language, is communicative. In student life, they may write emails, lists, notes, cover letters, reports, assignments, or essays. All of these writing tasks have a communicative purpose and a target audience.
Learning Environment

Program Approach
Ideas That Build Writers
One of the most important aspects of teaching English to young learners is creating an enjoyable and creative learning atmosphere. We believe the following ideas would help students move to this direction.
Meaningful Topics
Young writers can express themselves about topics that are important to them.
Freedom to Explore
Invite young writers to write freely, without worrying about correctness. Children who are just learning to write can build language structures and expression, even if they use imaginary spellings and strange punctuation.
Talk Through Ideas
Students need to talk about writing in progress so that they can formulate their thoughts, generate ideas, and focus their topics. Take five or ten minutes of class time for students to read their writing to each other in small groups or pairs.
Personal Reflection
Encourage writers to keep journals or diaries. Writing is one way of structuring thought. Journal writing is important because it’s not public. It can represent, for the writer, a chance to write in the most free way.
