Module 4 - Developing l2 Writing Skills

This module focuses on developing L2 writing skills for English language learners at different proficiency levels. For beginning ELL students, the priorities are incorporating their first language, using visual supports and scaffolds, and focusing on basic sentence structure and spelling/grammar conventions. For intermediate ELL and native English speaking students, the emphasis is on the full writing process, modeling proper oral and written language, and incorporating collaborative activities. For more advanced ELL and native English speaking students, the goals include writing for different purposes like reflection and debate, using complex language and demonstrating command of standard writing conventions.
