But only recently, as teachers have found that many students want and need to learn how to write English as well as to speak it. have linguistically oriented textbooks designed to teach written English appeared. These textbooks use a number of approaches, from variations on the "copybook" method at one end of the spectrum to the "free composition" method at the other. You have probably tried some of these approaches and, I suspect, found each of them lacking in some way. In my experience, this lack has always been in efficiency. None of the textbooks so far published seems to leach anything that cannot be learned from other courses: courses in oral production, grammar, or reading. It is obvious that grammar, aural comprehension, reading, and even oral production are to varying degrees involved in writing. Certainly we cannot leach a writing course thai never touches on these areas. But. at the same time, teaching a writing course that ;overs only these areas is redundant. Given the limited time most of us have to teach the student as much as we can about English, we should, if only for efficiency's sake, use a method that teaches him something he will not learn in his other courses something he cannot learn from conscientiously translating vocal symbols into orthographic ones, from oral or written pattern practice, or from reading. That is, we should use a method that emphasizes that which is unique to writing. Writing is much more than an orthographic symbolization of speech. It is. most, importantly, a purposeful selection and organization of experience. By "experience" 1 mean all thoughts—facts, opinions, or ideas—whether acquired first hand (through direct perceptions and/or actions) or secondhand (through reading or hearsay). This includes all kinds of writing, from the poem to the scientific experiment, for all have a purpose and an organized body of selected facts, opinions, or ideas. How clear the purpose and how relevant and well-organized the facts, determine the effectiveness of the writing. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
