How Process Writing Helps English Language Learners
"As they share their writing during writing groups and publishing, their teachers and friends get to know and appreciate them" (Pg. 235)
"Cooperative groups not only promote better writing but also provide numerous opportunities for oral discussion within which a great deal of "comprehensible input" is generated, promoting overall language development." (Pg. 235)
"When good literature is combined with opportunities to write often, when strategies are offered to solve problems in writing, and when writing is shared and published, your students will grow both in writing and overall English language development (Boyle, 1985b)" (Pg. 236)
Traits in Second Language Writing
"We describe beginning, intermediate, and advanced second language writing on five trait dimensions: fluency, organization, language use, style and mechanics. (Peregoy & Boyle, 2013, pg. 243)
Grammar
Organization
Vocabulary
Fluency
Genre
Sentence Variety
Strategies for Intermediate Writers
"One way to assist beginning and intermediate writers is to provide them with temporary frameworks that allow them to concentrate on one aspect of the writing process at a time. We refer to such temporary frameworks as
literacy scaffolds
." (Peregoy & Boyle, 2013, pg. 246)
Sentence Models
: Sentence modeling, another helpful strategy for intermediate writers, is based on sentences from quality classroom reading materials or from writing produced by student themselves. You can introduce simple sentence models at first, then more complex models." (Pg. 260)
Mapping
: A map is a visual/spatial representation of a composition or story and can assist students with shaping stories or essays they are writing. (Pg. 261-262)
Sentence Shortening
: Sentence shortening, the opposite of sentence sombining, assists students with changing wordy sentences into more concise sentences. In the early phases of writing development, some students may write sentences that ramble on and on." (Pg. 260)
Show and Not Tell
: "One of the most powerful reasons to use the show-and-not-tell strategy, in addition to its ease of learning, is that English learners are able to transfer this knowledge to their own writing. They are also able to use it when they are working with peer response groups." (Pg. 258)
Sentence Combining
: Sentence combining simply teaches students to combine shorter sentences into longer ones while retaining the meaning." (Pg. 258)
Strategies to Assist Beginning Writers
"One way to assist beginning and intermediate writers is to provide them with temporary frameworks that allow them to concentrate on one aspect of the writing process at a time. We refer to such temporary frameworks as
literacy scaffolds
." (Peregoy & Boyle, 2013, pg. 246)
Oral Discussion
"Oral interactions help students organize their ideas and may also provide helpful vocabulary items to English learners." (Pg. 246)
"Oral discussion prior to writing, which obviously requires some oral English abilities, represents one kind of scaffold to literacy." (Pg. 246)
Learning Log
"Develops sense of direction and success in the class." (Pg. 252)
"Helps teacher evaluate student's progress." (Pg. 252)
