Poll: Which of the following do your learners have trouble with? (check all that apply!)
• Including all the relevant content points / answering the question.
• Producing grammatically accurate language and using appropriate vocabulary
• Using a range of vocabulary and grammar and avoiding repetition
• Using an appropriate register for the task
• Organising their writing appropriately for the genre and with appropriate paragraphs
• Writing outside the box – seeing the task within the context of the task, not just as a piece of writing for the teacher / examiner.
