Basic Understanding of Developing Writing Skills in Teaching and Learning in ESL Classroom

Abstract

Language skills are crucial for effective communication and human development, serving as easily distinguishable signs that guide human development. One of the things that set humans apart from other animals is language, and writing is vital to humans in many ways because it facilitates learning. English is the language that connects people globally. One of the major challenges that ESL teachers face today is developing students' writing abilities.  Writing is regarded as the most challenging and significant of the four language skills. Writing is a skill that can only be developed through extensive exposure to speaking, listening, and reading. Developing competence in writing skills is an essential part of achieving success in academic records. Unconsciously learned material is reflected in one powerful writing assignment. Writing is measured as a domineering proficiency for prosperous language development. Thus, this study aims to look into the practical difficulties that both students and teachers face when learning and teaching writing skills for academic purposes, as well as to suggest ways to improve writing skills. ESL learners need to develop writing skills, and this paper discusses various methods for doing so.
