Part A: Introduction Rationale of the study The introduction of new English 10, 11, 12 textbook to school curriculum in 2006, 2007 and 2008 has marked a dramatic change in the way English is taught Along with three skills, namely, speaking, listening, reading, writing has been put in priority and integrated in the textbook Although the books have shown a great deal of improvement as compared with the old series of grammar-based it seems that not all activities or tasks in the books, especially in writing part are suitable to the different teaching and learning contexts of different localities within Vietnam After years teaching new English 11 at Duong An high school, I find out that in comparison with other three skills, writing is considered the most complicated to teach and still remains neglected due to students‟ low level proficiency, time constraints and low motivation When students write, they find themselves confused with word choice, grammatical use, organization and generation of ideas They tend to translate ideas from mother tongue into English, express ideas in long sentences, and are not aware of different kinds of writing, thus making them unable to write in real life Because of limited background knowledge, they often feel bored and not want to write Naturally, teaching English writing in upper-secondary schools is a challenging job for many English teachers because it requires not only high language competence among the teachers themselves, but also the application of appropriate writing instruction Some teachers not feel confident about their own English and shy away from designing writing tasks or getting students to write more than just grammatical exercises Sometimes teachers not have enough ideas to facilitate students In reality, most teachers follow what the tasks in the textbook require, and nothing more about it They may even let students copy the models from the guide books or sample collection On realizing students‟ problems, I assume that what English writing teachers need to is to improve the quality of students‟ pieces of writing, to give them a more cooperative learning environment, and to motivate them to participate in the writing lessons I myself have been making an effort to seek pedagogical methods which could help deal with the mentioned problems What is more, I suggest that adapting writing

activities in textbook could be a more effective strategy Many studies on the effectiveness of this have proved that it can be applied in ELF writing classes to solve the above problems However, I have not found any research on this field in upper-secondary schools in Vietnam in general and in Hai Duong in particular so far Related to my students‟ problems, I would like to conduct an experimental study titled “Adapting writing activities in English 11 to motivate 11th graders at Duong An high school to learn English writing skill” in order to inspire our students in writing lessons Aims of the study The study aims at: - investigating teachers‟ and students' attitudes towards teaching and learning writing at Duong An high school - determining the effect of the adapted activities in motivating students at Duong An high school in writing lessons Basing on the findings, some implications and suggestions will finally be proposed by the researcher Research questions With the above aims, the research questions are: What are teachers‟ and students' attitudes towards teaching and learning writing at Duong An high school? How the adapted activities help motivate students at Duong An high school in writing lessons? Scope of the study There is a variety of aspects affecting students‟ motivation in class activities so there exist numerous methods to improve students‟ involvement However, it is not my attention to cover all of them because of time and length constraint of the study Adaptation of several writing activities in English 11 is focused on and tested in class 11A at Duong An high school As the result, the samples of the study were restricted to teachers and 40 students at 11th form at Duong An high school Methods of the study The method employed in this study is a quasi- experimental research to identify the teachers' and students' attitude towards teaching and learning writing skill After that found

PART B: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER 1: LITERATURE REVIEW An Overview of Writing 1.1 Definitions of writing Writing is one of the four language skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) that a learner is expected to master Writing has been defined in a variety of ways Firstly, writing is the process in which the writer expresses his thoughts or ideas in the form of handwriting “Writing is communicating Good writing gets your ideas out of your head and into the reader‟s head without losing or distorting those ideas” (Leki, 1976) As for Tribble, writing is “a language skills which is difficult to acquire” (1996, p 3) He also stressed that writing “normally requires some forms of instruction” and that “it is not a skills that is readily picked up by exposure” (1996, p 11) From my personal experience as a classroom teacher, I share with Rivers‟ definition (1981) that “writing is not a skill that can be learned or developed in isolation but it should be taught and developed in cooperation with other skills and aspects of the language studied.” Furthermore, writing is a productive skill, so it is writing that provides students with chances to put the language itself and practice communicative skills at the same time Through the act of writing students will realize what they are already good at and what they still need to learn to become better 1.2 Roles of writing Writing emerges with its own functions and brings along communicative code of the writers When making a piece of writing, the writer implies a message or a certain purpose In the modern world, writing (written language) serves a range of functions in everyday life As Nunan (1991:84) aptly points out, writing is: (i) Primarily for action: public signs (on roads and stations), product labels and instructions (on food, tools or toy purchased), recipes, maps, television and radio guides, bills, menus, telephone directories, etc (ii) Primarily for social contact: personal correspondence, letters, postcards, greeting cards (iii) Primarily for information: newspapers and magazines, non- fiction books (textbooks, public notices, advertisement, guidebooks and travel literature, etc.)
