the 4th reflection journal TLL

technology to teach writing

In mastering languages, there will be four aspects to master. They are speaking, reading, listening, and writing. Being a language teacher, we must be able to arrange the strategies which are suitable to use in teaching students. In conducting teaching, today’s teachers already tend to use various media in delivering material for a particular language skill. 

For the second time of my reflection journal, I will talk about the media/technology used to teach writing for our students when we are a teacher. Writing is when we are trying to put our ideas passively. Students now on tend to put and deliver the ideas through active activity like speaking. They do not tend to put their idea in writing because writing is now boring for them.

To increase our students’ awareness in writing, we have first to train them to read. Because by reading, it will give them more input/knowledge in their mind. If they have already obtained more knowledge, it will ease them more to write.

This is our duty as a future teacher to create interesting strategies to increase students’ willingness to read. We can use some websites which are very interesting to use. There are now so many websites provided reading material with colorful appearance, full of pictures, and so on. We can function them.
