Lecture teaching writing

Read and remember the following types of writing:

• 1. Imitative writing – at the beginning level of learning to write, students will simply «write down» English letters, and possibly sentences in order to learn the conventions of the orthographic code. Some forms of dictation fall into this category although dictations can serve to teach and test higher order processing as well.
• 2. Intensive (controlled) writing – usually arrears in controlled written grammar exercises. Some written tasks as essays, compositions, summary are also included into intensive writing.
• 3. Self- writing - this type means writing with only the self in mind as an audience. The most vivid example of this type of writing is note-taking where students take notes during a lecture for the purpose of later recall.
• 4. Display writing – short answer exercises, essay examinations, research reports are display writing examples, when students have to display their knowledge of language and academic skills.
• 5. Real writing – this type is done not for marks or checking by teachers. Its aim is genuine communication. Writing diaries, letters, post cards, notes, personal messages or other informal writing can take place.
