The study highlights English teachers’ attitudes towards the teaching of creative writing in the English subject in Swedish compulsory school years 7-9 and upper secondary school. The data in this study was collected through a quantitative web survey answered by 13 respondents and qualitative, semi-structured interviews with four teachers selected from the survey respondents. The findings show that the teachers’ attitudes to creative writing as a part of English teaching are influenced partly by how important they think writing in English is but also by external factors, such as the school’s steering documents and the social environment.

Any discussion of the growth and development of essays in Sepedi must include the name of E.K.K. Matlala. Matlala was the first author to publish a volume of Sepedi essays. This publishing of this volume, entitled Mengwalo (Essays) Puku II, by Fort Hare University in 1943 is an event of historical importance in Sepedi literature. This research study investigates Matlala’s essays. The aim of this study is to focus on all various possible types of essays, including the four types that Matlala wrote, namely descriptive, analytical, narrative and meditative essays. Matlala’s volume of Sepedi essays, Mengwalo (Essays) Puku II, consists of four essays, namely ‘Lexae’, ‘Fsika-thsipi la Ramošweu’, ‘Tato ya monnyana ke lesoxana’ and ‘Šakeng la bophelo’. Each of these four belongs to a specific category of essays. For this reason, it can be argued that Matlala is a skilled author of Sepedi essays. His skill becomes clear in an analysis of his essays, which shows that he arranges them to be in line with a clear structure, namely title, introduction, body and conclusion. This structure is generally accepted as the correct structure for an essay. As for thematic content, Matlala’s essays discuss both modernity and the days gone by. In three of his essays, Matlala writes about the importance of events that happened in the past. In the fourth essay, ‘Fsika-thsipi la Ramošweu’, Matlala depicts modernity. Matlala’s writing style is recognizably dated; he makes extensive use of loan words and the archaic language of the twenties and thirties. However, this language is important as it promotes multilingualism. Analysing the classification of Sepedi informal essays reveals that Matlala not only wrote essays but also made an attempt to elevate their status. Therefore, it could be argued that Matlala has a unique talent among the writers of Sepedi informal essays. The argument developed in this study is that Matlala is the most successful author of Sepedi informal essays who has ever been published. This study also examines the influence in Matlala’s work of his study of English essays. / Dissertation (MA (African Languages))--University of Pretoria, 2008. / African Languages / unrestricted

The dissertation analyses how to approach teaching of writing skills in Russian language at Czech secondary schools. In the theoretical part I define what a "writing skill" is. I focus on the linguistic, psycholinguistic and didactic aspects of the teaching of writing. I explain attitudes to writing skills in different teaching methods in history and nowadays. After that I set out the requirements for testing writing skills in some of the most common documents: Common European Framework for Languages, European Language Portfolio, international exams in Russian language ТРКИ (Тест русского языка как иностранного) or TORFL (Test of Russian as a Foreign Language) and the state final exam in Russian language at Czech secondary schools. In the practical part, I first analyse selected Czech and Russian textbooks for grammar schools to compare their approach towards teaching writing skills in native languages: Czech and Russian. Then I set out analysis of Czech textbooks used in the Czech Republic for teaching Russian, focusing in particular on the exercises used to teach writing. After that, I evaluate answers from two questionnaires that I gave to secondary school graduates and teachers of Russian. My goal was to understand the issues they face and any problems they experience in practice when learning...

Studien syftar till att undersöka hur lärare arbetar med skrivförmågan i årskurs 4–6 och om de ser några skillnader inom skrivförmågan mellan pojkar och flickor samt hur de i så fall motverkar dessa skillnader. Nejman (2020) menar att skillnaderna i betyg mellan pojkar och flickor är ett av skolans största likvärdighetsproblem. Resultatet i studien bygger på åtta kvalitativa intervjuer av semistrukturerad karaktär med lärare som är yrkesverksamma och antingen undervisar eller har undervisat i svenskämnet. Resultatet diskuteras genom det sociokulturella perspektivet och vad tidigare forskning säger om ämnet. Undersökningens resultat visar att de flesta lärare i denna studie arbetar med genrepedagogik i klassrummet. Det visar också att lärarlegitimation spelar roll i relation till användandet av arbetssätt och metoder för skrivförmågan. En viktig faktor som nämns av flera av lärarna i studien är att läsning stärker skrivförmågan. Att det finns skillnader mellan pojkar och flickor inom skrivförmågan är något som både forskning och resultatet av intervjuerna visar, däremot är det få lärare som uttrycker att de använder sig av några arbetssätt i klassrummet för att minska dessa skillnader. Det som är av betydelse menar lärarna är klassrumsplaceringen.

Thesis (M.Ed. (Language Education)) -- University of Limpopo, 2022 / The primary aim of the study was to investigate ways in which learning and teaching of English First Additional Language writing skills can be taught through Information and Communication Technology. Four teachers from School A were interviewed and Four teachers from School B were observed. Six learners typed letters from School A, and six wrote essays from School B. The results indicated that learners and teachers from School A had more knowledge in incorporating Information and Communication Technology(ICT) into teaching and learning writing skills, and that also improved their performance. School B, due to lack of ICT skills in EFAL writing skill, resulted in learners committing errors and indicating a distress to teachers in their learning and teaching of EFAL writing skills. Nonetheless, the recommendations were clearly stated that teachers should be given sufficient training, especially from School B, regarding the application of ICT through teaching English writing skills. It should be every teacher, learner, and parent’s responsibility to monitor and assist their learners through ICT learning. Lastly, relevant policies should be drafted to make ICT compulsory in learning and teaching language, together with provision of resources to support this new norm of learning and teaching.

The topic of this diploma thesis is Using dictation to develop listening and writing skills in English language classes at the lower secondary level. The aim of the theoretical part is to describe dictation and its contribution to the development of listening and writing skills in English language classes. This part of the thesis also deals with how dictation, listening and writing skills are reflected in the Framework Educational Programme and School Educational Programme. The practical part is based on a project whose goal is to teach a few English lessons based on dictation. A detailed description of each particular lesson is presented in this part. Questionnaires are used to find out the popularity of dictation among pupils and teachers and the frequency of their use in English language classes.

In this perspective, we defend that learning a language is a complex adaptive system (CAS), since it has all of its characteristics: it is open, susceptible to external factors and to initial conditions, unpredictable, non-linear, ruled by low level rules and self-organized. Besides, in order to keep functioning, active, a CAS needs the interaction among its constituting elements. In this study, we also worked with the concept of interlanguage, developed through five central processes (SELINKER, 1972) which we understand to have some points in common with the characteristics that constitute the CAS. It is also relevant to ponder the fact that the learning process of a foreign language can be affected by many factors through time, as well as that it does not follow a determined pattern of development, something that could be predicted. Likewise, innate factors should be taken into account in the learning process, since the context in which it takes place also plays an important role in the success of learning a language. Thus, the aim of this research was to investigate, through the writing ability being practiced and shown in a blog, the development of the interlanguage of two students of a teaching course in Languages/English of a public university. The intention was to verify how the interlanguage of the two students behaves during the sixth and seventh semester of English Language when the online activity was developed, analyzing the fluency, accuracy and grammatical complexity of their published texts. Besides, we observed how the collaborative correction of these texts, when the students worked as proofreaders of one another, making linguistic as well as communicative adjustments in the productions using the online tool, can influence their interlanguage, contributing to their improvement in writing in English. / Na busca por uma abordagem que abarcasse a aprendizagem de línguas de uma forma mais global e dinâmica, linguistas aplicados como Larsen-Freeman (1997) e Paiva (2005) recorreram às teorias do Caos/Complexidade como metáfora para tratar desse processo. Nessa perspectiva, defende-se que aprender uma língua é um sistema adaptativo complexo, pois possui todas as suas características: é aberto, sensível a fatores externos e a condições iniciais, imprevisível, não-linear, regido por regras de baixo nível e auto-organizável. Além disso, considera-se também que para um sistema se manter ativo, funcionando, é necessária a interação de suas partes, já que é por meio da interação que os elementos que constituem o sistema são mantidos em constante movimento. Neste estudo também se trabalhou com o conceito de interlíngua, desenvolvida por meio de cinco processos centrais (SELINKER,1972), os quais se entende que possuem pontos de contato com as características que delineiam os sistemas complexos. É também relevante atentar para o fato de que o processo de aprendizagem de um idioma pode ser afetado por diversos fatores ao longo do tempo, além de não seguir um padrão determinado de desenvolvimento que possa ser previsto. Da mesma forma como questões inatas devem ser consideradas na aquisição de uma língua, o meio onde esse processo se dá também desempenha um papel importante para o sucesso na aprendizagem. Assim, o foco da presente pesquisa foi investigar o desenvolvimento da interlíngua em duas alunas de um curso de Licenciatura em Letras Habilitação em Língua Inglesa de uma universidade federal por meio da observação da presença da interlíngua na habilidade escrita trabalhada em um blog. Pretendeu-se verificar, por meio da fluência, precisão e complexidade gramatical dos textos publicados pelas alunas, como sua interlíngua comportou-se durante o sexto e o sétimo semestres da disciplina de Língua Inglesa em que a atividade de produção online nessa língua foi proposta. Além disso, se observou como o trabalho colaborativo mediado pela ferramenta online, em que os colegas agiram como revisores dos comunicativa, pode influenciar a interlíngua dessas alunas, contribuindo para seu aprimoramento na escrita no idioma.

Le développement de la compétence orthographique est particulièrement difficile pour les dyslexiques. Orthographier en français implique la prise en compte de connaissances et de stratégies variées. Cette étude a pour objectifs de décrire l’utilisation des stratégies de production orthographiques de 32 élèves dyslexiques (ED) âgés de 9 à 12 ans ainsi que d’établir les liens entre les stratégies orthographiques et la compétence orthographique. Les élèves devaient orthographier 24 mots sous dictée et commenter, pour chaque mot, les stratégies employées. Les performances des ED ont été comparées à celles de 25 normo scripteurs de même âge chronologique (CA) et à celles de 24 normo scripteurs de même compétence écrite (CE). Les résultats indiquent que les stratégies phonologiques sont les plus utilisées par tous les groupes de participants. Si aucun type de stratégies n’est lié à la compétence orthographique des ED, la stratégie visuo-orthographique nous éclaire sur les résultats des CA et des CE. / The development of spelling skill is a very difficult task for students with dyslexia. Spelling in French involves the consideration of various knowledge and strategies. This study aims to describe the use of spelling strategies of 32 dyslexic students (ED) aged from 9 to 12 years and to establish the links between spelling strategies and spelling skill. Students had to spell 24 words under dictation and for each word, provide comments on the strategy employed. The performances of dyslexics were compared to 25 children of the same chronological age (CA) and to 24 children of the same writing skill (CE). The results show that phonological strategies are the most commonly used by all groups of participants. If no such strategy is related to the spelling skill of ED, visuo-orthographic strategy generally accounts the results of CA and CE.
