Teaching writing can be amusing and rewarding for both teachers and students. In this workshop participants will have the opportunity to experiment with a variety of collaborative writing activities and to discuss briefly the aspects of writing practiced. The objectives of the activities include such areas as considering the target reader, building complex sentences, discourse management, focus on grammar / lexis, peer teaching, peer correction, developing classroom rapport and considering culture.
