Technology to Teach Writing
 |
| Typing |
Speaking, reading, listening, and writing are capabilities in language learning. Now, we will talk about writing skill deeply. Writing and reading is two skills of language learning which always integrated each other. When we have to master the writing skill, we have to be a good reader because when we read the books or articles we have schemata as a prior knowledge. Then, automatically we can write a good content and good structure.
By the time, the approaches to teaching writing and the use of computer continues to develop since 1960 until now. According to Raimes (1991) there is different focuses: Focus on form, focus on the writer, focus on the content, and focus on the reader. I think, in writing skill it is better if we combine all those things, because we have to include all aspect when we write something. We also have to consider the structure, grammar, the content, and the reader when we do writing. If we can consolidate all those aspects, we can create a great writing, meaningful writing.
Nowadays, technology makes us easier to write. For example, through Microsoft Word we can type what we want to write easily. Besides, there is check spelling in Microsoft Word and there is so many features that we can add when we write, such as table, graphic, symbol, picture, etc. As a teacher candidate, I will apply the other software or tools to encourage the students in writing skills. Hopefully, through Technology and Language Learning I could master a variety of technologies in teaching language.
