international relations between many countries Therefore, there is a great demand for teaching and learning English in the world as well as in Viet Nam English users today focus more on the ability to communicate in spoken and written languages However, according to Trang and Baldoff (2007), the education quality has not met the society’s expectation because mostly high-school graduates cannot communicate in English effectively in both oral and written forms Under the urgent demand of improving the quality, Vietnam’s English language teaching has recently undergone a comprehensive reform Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training has issued a new set of textbook for high school students in order to develop students’ communicative competence The new textbook displays two new teaching approaches They are learnercentered and communicative approaches However, regarding Vietnam’s context, the change will create a lot of difficulties to teachers of English who are too familiar to the old teaching methods, especially in teaching writing skill, which seems to be the most difficult work in teaching English In Tran Nguyen Han high school, teaching writing skills is really a big challenge For the teachers, they used to teach the old textbooks in which writing has no place Therefore, they have no experiences in teaching theme-based writing Another problem is the students’ low level of English proficiency That’s why they find it difficult to write Moreover, lack of motivation also faces the students They often get bored and indifferent in the writing lessons In my opinion, the current problem must be worked out and appropriate teaching techniques should be made Up to present, a few researches have been carried out on the teaching of writing for students in Hai Phong Most of the researchers have studied others problems concerning teaching other skills in Hai Phong As a teacher of English, who is aware of the fact and wishes to contribute some suggestions for possible improvements in the teaching and learning of writing skill, I TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com decided to the research entitled “ The reality of teaching and learning English writing skill at Tran Nguyen Han high school in Hai Phong and recommendations.” Aims of the study The main purpose of this study is to research the current reality of teaching and learning writing skill to 11th form students at Tran Nguyen Han high school on the basic of finding out the difficulties experienced by the teachers and the students Furthermore, some suggestions are made to stimulate the students and some recommendations are made to improve teaching methodology for the teachers at Tran Nguyen Han high school The significance of the study Pedagogically, the findings and comments of the study are believed to be relevant to improving the teaching of writing to the students The study may help teachers to make their writing lessons more effective so that they can help their students develop writing skill as well as other language skills Scope of the study The study focuses on the reality of teaching and learning English writing skill to 11 grade students at Tran Nguyen Han high school In addition, some recommendations for a better writing teaching and learning situation are presented Although the author is well aware that the survey statistics are not fully representative of all high school students studying English in Hai Phong, she hopes to propose some of the most popular facts that occurring in this study Methods of the study Both quantitative and qualitative methods are employed to carry out the study With the aim of increasing validity and reliability of the data collected, the survey questionnaires will be delivered The purpose of the survey is to collect data about the current situation of teaching and learning writing at Tran Nguyen Han high school Informal interviews with the colleagues and the students are also conducted Besides, reviewing the related documents is also a method to establish the theoretical background for the study TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com Design of the study The study is expected to consist of three main parts: Part A includes the rationales, aims, significance, scope, and methods of the study Part B includes chapters Chapter deals with definitions of writing, the differences between writing and speaking, writing difficulties, approaches to writing and writing in the communicative classes Chapter discusses the methodology of the study, i.e describes the study context, participants, and instruments Besides, the introduction of the new “Tieng Anh 11” textbook is elaborated Chapter3 is about the data analysis and findings It describes how collected data is analyzed and presented Chapter provides recommendations for better teaching and learning English writing skill Part C is the conclusion which summarizes the thesis and offers some suggestions for further research Besides, the limitations of the thesis are also pointed out TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com PART B DEVELOPMENT Chapter Literature Review 1.1 Definitions of writing There are a lot of definitions of writing According to Byrne (1991), writing can be defined as the act of forming graphic symbols When we write, we use graphic symbol (alphabet, grammar, and structures) to make visual meaningful utterances Therefore, on one level, writing can be said to be the act of making marks on flat surface of some kinds However, writing is not just simply putting words, sentences together Many researchers tended to focus on the nature of writing as an entity of linguistic creation For example, Brannon, Knight and Neverow-Turk (1982, p 2) pointed out “ writing is a creative art, not as assembly line operation of locking words together into sentence and bolting sentences together into paragraphs in accordance with a predefined plan.” Other researchers considered writing as a communicative process with purposeful interaction between the participants For example, NuNan (1999, p 100) stated, “Writing is not a solitary act, rather, it is the result of the interaction among people, contexts, and texts.” Oluwadiya (1990) considered the nature of writing as “a process” of “via-text communication” between an addresser and an addressee However, writing, in language teachers’ opinions, is “a language skill which is difficult to acquire” (Tribble, 1996, p 3) It is “a process that occurs over a period of time, particularly if we take into account the sometimes extended periods of thinking that precede creating an initial draft.” ( Harris, 1993, p 10) In short, the definitions of writing are various However, writing is characterized with some basic features, i.e being linguistics, creative, progressive and interactive Besides, the word “writing” itself may imply an act, a process, or a skill, which needs practice and study to develop It requires both physical and mental powers from the writers TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com - Step 4: The teachers ask each individual to choose a given number of the items to develop his/ her own outline Whole class brainstorming: In the kind of activity, the groups work together from the beginning When the topic has been stated, the class members say whatever ideas occur to them The teacher should not correct or comment but may ask for a more detailed explanation Then the whole class discusses the relevancy of the ideas Finally, the teacher asks each individual to choose a given number of the ideas to develop her/his own outline This kind of activity may be best for topics which will interest most of students in class like writing task - Unit 14 ( English 11 textbook), in which students are to write a passage about their class’s camping holiday 4.1.4 Interview In this activity, students are asked to interview other group members According to Raimes (1983), interviews can be done in many ways Students can interview each other in pairs and note down the ideas Interviews can be used to find out detailed information from students’ partners such as: how their friend is like (Unit 1- English 11 textbook), how they celebrate their birthday parties (Unit 3- English 11 text book), how they prepare for Tet holiday (Unit 8- English 11 text book) Then they write a report This kind of activity gets students to talk and motivates students to write in a relaxing manner 4.1.5 Asking journalists’ question These questions - who, what, when, where, why, and how- are easy for teachers to help students to generate ideas They are especially helpful in writing an event For example, in unit ( English 11 textbook), students are required to write about their memorable past experiences and these questions can be helpful - What is the name of the experience? - When did it happen? - Where did it happen? - How did it happen? - Why were you there? - Who got involved in the incident? - How are they? - How did the experience affect you? 37 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com 4.2 Techniques in the while-writing stage Collaborative writing is a good way of organizing the class It encourages students to learn from each other Besides, it saves time for writing class The researcher would like to recommend some ways of organizing collaborative drafting In the first way, according to the outline of the whole group, each member is responsible for writing one part of the writing, then the whole group will assemble all the parts together and make some necessary changes to make them unite In another way, all the group members take part in writing at the same time One member as a secretary is assigned to taking note of sentences made by the whole group By doing so, the group can write and check their writing together 4.3 Techniques in the post-writing stage Using peer editing Peer editing has many benefits to improve students’ writing skill Peer editing can be organized in some ways In one way, one student will edit the writing of another student In another way, students can work in groups to edit other groups’ writings All the group members have a number of the composition’s copies, then they can work together on the same piece of writing and contribute their ideas about it Therefore, editing job could be done quickly and effective 4.4 Techniques for motivating students 4.4.1 Using oral presentation Teacher can have their students present their ideas after brainstorming or their final product after finishing writing It creates chance for students to interact with their audience orally By doing this, student can get the sense of pride in their work and receive immediate feedback from their audience, which increases their motivation for writing 4.4.2 Using games Games should be used in class more frequently If student are made to take part in games voluntarily, they will become more active and hard-working This makes a better studying environment For example, we can use word games in unit 12 and guessing game in unit (see in the appendix (3), (4)) 38 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com 4.4.3 Providing an appropriate tone of feedback Teachers can motivate students by giving them an appropriate tone of feedback on their writings An appropriate tone of feedback consists of comment of praise and constructive criticism Praise is of importance It motivates students to revise their writings Constructive criticism is necessary for students as it points out what aspects students need to work more to improve their papers 4.5 Summary To conclude, this chapter has dealt with suggestions to improve the teaching and learning of English writing skill at Tran Nguyen Han high school A number of recommendations such as techniques in pre- writing stage, techniques in while- writing stages, techniques in post- writing stage, techniques for motivating students have been discussed 39 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com PART C CONCLUSION In this part, recapitulation of the study is provided with a brief description of the study as well as the limitation of the study and some recommendations for further study Summary of the study Writing, one of the productive skills, through with students can convey and express their own ideas and make them become good thinkers Besides, writing helps students learn other skills Therefore, the importance of writing is undeniable In the process of studying the reality of teaching and learning writing at Tran Nguyen Han high school, the attitudes of the teachers and students towards teaching and learning writing, the difficulties facing the teachers and students were studied The results from the research reveal the present teaching and learning writing at Tran Nguyen Han high school is far from satisfaction The students face five main problems at writing class: the low level of English proficiency, low background knowledge, low motivation, teachers’ assistance and time limitation The research also shows the teachers face many problems such as the low level of English proficiency, low motivation, low background knowledge of the students, time limitation, their inexperience of teaching the new textbook, large and multilevel classes as well as lack of necessary facilities In order to improve the situation, an effort has been made to present some useful writing techniques which hopefully can be employed to help the students at Tran Nguyen Han high school improve their writing skill Limitations Although the researcher has made effort conducting this thesis, there undoubtedly exists some limitations 40 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com Firstly, the study only carry out an investigation into the reality of teaching and learning writing of grade 11 students, so to some extent, the results may not be generalized for all students of the school Secondly, although the researcher used both survey questionnaires and interviews as the research instrument for data collections, the researcher should combine different tools for data collection like observation in order to make obtained result more reliable Thirdly, the author’s practical experience in teaching writing with the textbook is limited; the suggestions to overcome difficulties are likely to be subjective and incomplete Recommendations for further study On the basis of findings and limitations of the study, the following suggestions are made for further research - A study on the reality of teaching listening, reading or speaking to Tran Nguyen Han high school students - A study on techniques and activities for Tran Nguyen Han high school students which help them improve their writing skills 41 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com REFERENCES Tiếng
