Classroom Activities for Teaching to Write

Abstract

Writing plays an important role in the life of every person. It is used in different spheres of people’s activity. Thus, it should be taught from early stages of language learning. If speaking is a means of communication with the help of sounds, writing is a means of communication with the help of graphics. In modern methodological literature they distinguish between writing and written speech. Some scientists use the term “writing” only, indicating its wide and narrow meaning. This division reflects the mechanism of writing. It consists of two stages: 1) formation of words; 2) formation of written reports. To realise the first stage it is necessary to assimilate calligraphy and spelling. For realisation of the second stage speaking skills should be assimilated.
