Abstract:
Ability to communicate in writing in a foreign language is required for any educated professional in our modern globalized world. It allows people to get a prestigious job, to participate in international projects and exchange programmes, to get education, etc. For that foreign language proficiency level should be higher than the Intermediate one (B2+), including writing skills. It is this level that allows people to live, study or work independently in a country where and when this particular foreign language is used for communication However, the results of examinations aimed at assessing the writing proficiency of Ukrainian school and university students demonstrate that their writing skills are not developed enough and leave much to be desired. Both teachers and learners consider writing to be the most difficult skill of the four main basic skills as it requires control over a number of variables simultaneously, over the content and the form, i.e., to know what to write about and how to write about it. The present article focuses on the specific features of writing which make it challenging, makes an attempt to analyze the writing challenges Ukrainian students face and to present some recommendations about what may be done by teachers of foreign languages to improve the situation.

Abstract:
Writing from sources is an important academic skill but students find it a difficult skill to learn. The lesson study method was used to design and evaluate learning and teaching strategies aimed at improving students’ writing from sources skills. The team developed a seven-part lesson plan and associated learning activities and practice opportunities which was delivered over 12 hours. The lesson was delivered to first-year students (n = 150) taking a Critical Skills module. Students’ writing was analysed to identify how they approached integrating sources into their writing. Analyses of student texts suggest significant improvement in some skills, for example, finding, interpreting and synthesising content across sources. Other skills showed less marked improvement, for example, critiquing sources and creating new text. This paper shares the lesson and makes suggestions for future iterations of the lesson.

Abstract:
Writing skill (maharah al-kitabah) is the highest skill of the four language skills. Writing is an activity that has a relationship with thought processes and expression skills in the form of writing. Judging from the aspect of Arabic proficiency, writing can be said to be a very complex activity, because it requires the ability to organize and organize ideas coherently and logically, as well as the ability to present writing in a variety of written languages and different writing rules. This writing activity is difficult for students, because it requires several skills, namely skills in forming letters and mastering spelling and the skills to generate thoughts and feelings in the form of Arabic writing. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the objectives and principles of learning writing skills and writing skills learning techniques to help students understand the material and achieve the goals of learning writing skills (Maharah al-kitabah). This paper tries to explain the theory of learning writing skills scientifically which includes the understanding of writing skills (maharah al-kitabah), the objectives of learning writing skills (maharah al-kitabah), the principles of learning writing skills (maharah al-kitabah) and skills learning techniques. write (maharah al-kitabah) in Arabic.

Abstract:
This study investigated the influence of acquired L1 writing skills on exophonic writings of students ( N = 147) from diverse majors, who visited an English writing center for assistance. Affective differences revealed students with L1 writing tutelage (WL1) had lower avoidance behavior and higher extrinsic motivation and writing self-efficacy. Self-perceived L2 writing ability was found to be a principal factor for WL1. Writing self-efficacy appeared essential for students without L1 writing tutelage (WOL1). Regression analysis found learner self-beliefs and somatic anxiety (negative) influenced self-perceived L2 writing ability for WL1, and holistic self-beliefs on English writing (HSE) and cognitive ability (negative) for WOL1. Acquired L1 writing skills did not tangibly influence L2 performance. No large impact factors were found for WL1, but HSE and attitudes & reaction (negative) impacted WOL1 performance. Implications such as performance may not be a main concern among exophonic writers, and the need for English writing centers in non-L1 (English) countries are discussed.

Abstract:

English is one of three core subjects in upper secondary school and it is essential that students

receive a good education in this subject. Since writing and speaking are such prominent parts

of the English language, the teacher is obliged to possess knowledge of how to improve

students’ proficiencies in an efficient way. The question is how to use this knowledge when

the teacher is supposed to compose different methods for lessons, evaluate the exercises and

give proper feedback to the students.

This investigation is based on various literary sources, interviews with teachers and

questionnaires with students and the background information is the basis for the interview

questions and the questionnaire.

There are endless possibilities for appropriate exercises to improve writing and speaking and it

is impossible to investigate every single one there is in a relatively short essay. I have,

however, found a fair number of methods, which will be described in this paper. In order to

evaluate exercises, the teacher needs to be prepared and know what to focus on in the exercise

as it is in progress, but also listen to the students’ opinions since they know if they have

learned anything or not. Correction of spoken errors should be handled cautiously by the

teacher but the students should be made aware of the written mistakes they make.

Abstract:
Orthopedically impaired (OI) students face a formidable challenge during the writing process due to their limited or non-existing ability to use their hands to hold a pen or pencil or even to press the keys on a keyboard. While they may have a clear mental picture of what they want to write, the biggest hurdle comes well before having to tackle the basic elements of writing such as grammar, punctuation, syntax, order, coherence, and unity of thought among others. There are many examples of assistive technology that has been deployed to facilitate writing for these students such as: word processors, word prediction software, keyboards and mice modified to be manipulated by feet and even mouth, and speech recognition software (SRS). The use of SRS has gained great popularity mainly due to the leaps in technology that have occurred during the last decade, particularly during the last three to five years. SRS is now capable of delivering speech to write with a verifiable accuracy rate in excess of 90% with as little as 10 hours of training. The current SRS industry recognized leader is Nuance Communications with its iconic Dragon Naturally Speaking (DNS) which is on version 12.5 at the time of this writing. DNS has practically eliminated the competition on SRS applications. This investigation explored the feasibility of using SRS as a writing tool by OI students to take notes and to complete writing projects. While others have tested the efficacy of SRS in general and of DNS in particular, this exploration is believed to be the first investigation into the use of SRS in the general classroom. One OI and two regular students were observed taking notes in three different classrooms after having received 10 hours of training using the software. Results indicate that all students dictated at a rate at least twice as fast as typing while averaging 90% accuracy rate. While the OI student dictation speed was consistently lower than that of the other students, there was minimal difference in accuracy. The Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Devices Scales (PIADS) questionnaire revealed a positive effect of the use of SRS on all three students with the OI student showing a higher index of improvement than the regular students in the areas of competence and self-esteem while all students experienced a closely similar score in the area of adaptability.

Abstract:
Much research demonstrates that alphabet knowledge, phonological awareness, and emergent writing are all significant predictors of later reading and writing outcomes, and that children with language impairments (LI) are particularly at risk for later literacy difficulties. Further, children with LI consistently demonstrate depressed emergent literacy skills in the areas of phonological awareness, print concepts, and alphabet knowledge; however, little is known about their emergent writing skills. Therefore, the purposes of this study were twofold: (1) to compare the emergent writing skills of preschool children with language impairment to their typically developing peers using a range of writing tasks and a detailed, consistent scoring rubric for each task; and, (2) to explore the relationships among emergent writing skills and alphabet knowledge, phonological awareness, and oral language. The participants included four groups of preschool children: 11 4-year-old children with LI; 11 4-year-old language typical (LT) children, age-matched to children with LI; 20 4-year-old children with typical language; and, 21 5-year-old children with typical language. Children with language impairment scored between 70 and 84 on the Language Index of Assessment of Literacy and Language (ALL) (Lombardino, Lieberman, & Brown, 2005), and children with typical language scored between 85 and 115. All children passed a bilateral hearing screen, scored within the normal range on a non-verbal intelligence screen, demonstrated an unremarkable developmental history relative to sensory, neurological, and motor performance, spoke English as their primary language, and had mothers with at least a high school education or equivalent. During two sessions, children were administered the ALL and five emergent writing tasks: Write Letters, Write Name, Write CVC Words, Picture Description, and Sentence Retell.; The writing tasks and accompanying scoring rubrics were adopted from a previous study by Puranik and Lonigan (2009). Results indicated that children with LI demonstrated significantly less advanced letter and word writing skills than their language typical, age-matched peers. In addition, significant relationships between all emergent writing tasks and alphabet knowledge were observed for all children as well as significant relationships between oral language and phonological awareness for children with typical language. No significant relationships between any of the emergent writing tasks and phonological awareness or between oral language and alphabet knowledge were found. Further, results indicated the same developmental patterns exist in written as well as oral language for children with LI. This study has therapeutic implications for speech-language pathologists. In particular, emergent writing tasks need to be included in comprehensive assessment and intervention approaches for children with LI. Assessments need to yield accurate descriptions of emergent writing skills relevant to later literacy outcomes. Finally, integrated intervention approaches that combine initial sound awareness tasks with alphabet knowledge and emergent writing tasks may achieve the best learning outcomes.

Abstract:
Textopia is an inventive platform addressing the decline in writing skills among students by combining writing with gaming to make learning enjoyable [1]. It leverages OpenAI's API for generating personalized writing prompts and provides instant feedback on writings to enhance students' skills [2]. The system includes components like PromptManager for prompt generation and FeedbackManager for offering constructive feedback and grammatical corrections. Moreover, Textopia integrates a gaming element where progress in writing unlocks new gaming features, linking educational achievements with gaming rewards. This approach aims to motivate students, making writing a rewarding activity. An experiment within the research illustrates significant improvement in writing quality through iterative feedback and writing exercises, suggesting Textopia's effectiveness in fostering writing skills [3]. By transforming writing from a chore into an engaging experience, Textopia addresses educational challenges, rekindles students' passion for writing, and opens avenues for academic and personal growth. This innovative blend of writing and gaming in education offers a promising solution to enhance student engagement and writing proficiency.

Abstract:
This research paper investigates the use of different writing approaches in English as a Foreign Language classroom activity. Specifically, the paper explores freewriting, controlled written activities, and guided written activities, and their potential to enhance writing skills, language proficiency, and soft skills, depending on the objectives and needs of the students. Additionally, the paper suggests strategies and techniques to encourage creativity and enjoyment in writing activities. A focus is put on the development of creative writing that is seen as a booster of skills. The study finds that students are more engaged and motivated when specific writing steps are followed, and they learn to use both convergent and divergent thinking strategies. The results indicate that writing promotes communication skills, increases confidence, and provides a permanent record of progress. However, it is recommended that writing should be combined with speaking, listening, and reading activities for a more comprehensive learning experience. Finally, the primary goal of this study is to empower students to express their thoughts and emotions through writing. By implementing the recommended methodologies, students can develop their writing abilities and build their confidence, which will be useful in more advanced writing tasks in the future.

Goodwin, Sarah, Yigal Attali, Geoffrey LaFlair, Yena Park, Andrew Runge, Alina von Davier, and Kevin Yancey. Duolingo English Test - Writing Construct. Duolingo, March 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.46999/arxn5612.

Full text
Abstract:
Assessments, especially those used for high-stakes decision making, draw on evidence-based frameworks. Such frameworks inform every aspect of the testing process, from development to results reporting. The frameworks that language assessment professionals use draw on theory in language learning, assessment design, and measurement and psychometrics in order to provide underpinnings for the evaluation of language skills including speaking, writing, reading, and listening. This paper focuses on the construct, or underlying trait, of writing ability. The paper conceptualizes the writing construct for the Duolingo English Test, a digital-first assessment. “Digital-first” includes technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, with human expert involvement, throughout all item development, test scoring, and security processes. This work is situated in the Burstein et al. (2022) theoretical ecosystem for digital-first assessment, the first representation of its kind that incorporates design, validation/measurement, and security all situated directly in assessment practices that are digital first. The paper first provides background information about the Duolingo English Test and then defines the writing construct, including the purposes for writing. It also introduces principles underpinning the design of writing items and illustrates sample items that assess the writing construct.

Full text
Abstract:
The content coverage of the Integrated Curriculum (IC) for Nepali Language Arts and Reading is broad, but some topics, including foundational reading and writing skills, are emphasised more than others. The IC generally emphasises middle levels of cognitive demand. IC content is highly aligned across Grades 1-3. Grade 1 teachers cover IC topics more broadly, and typically at lower cognitive demand levels, than the curriculum prescribes. The Classroom-Based Early Grade Reading Assessment (CB-EGRA) focuses on a narrower set of skills than either the curriculum or instruction, and typically at higher cognitive demand levels. Student performance on the CB-EGRA is low, suggesting the need for greater support on specific topics and at more basic skill levels so students have a stronger foundation for future progress.

Goodwin, Sarah, and Ben Naismith. Assessing Listening on the Duolingo English Test. Duolingo, June 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.46999/corj9896.

Full text
Abstract:
In this paper we describe how the language skill of listening is operationalized and measured on the Duolingo English Test (DET). This work is situated in the DET’s theoretical assessment ecosystem (Burstein et al., 2022), a set of evidence-based frameworks that reflect the iterative processes for assessment design, computational psychometrics, and test security. In this ecosystem, the Language Assessment Design Framework stipulates that the domain for tested constructs be described. To achieve this goal, the present paper is one in an ongoing series of skills construct whitepapers that describes the underpinnings for each language skill construct, in this case for listening (see also Park et al., 2022 for reading; Goodwin et al., 2022 for writing; LaFlair et al., 2023 for interactional competence; Park et al., 2023 for speaking). The paper first gives background information on the DET. We then describe the DET’s conceptualization of the second language listening construct using the multi-layered framework of Aryadoust and Luo (2023). Within this framework, we consider how subskills, cognitive processes, attributes (i.e., task and test-taker traits) contribute to the overall listening construct. We also exemplify how these different elements of listening are measured through the DET item types.

Rodriguez-Segura, Daniel, and Isaac Mbiti. Back to the Basics: Curriculum Reform and Student Learning in Tanzania. Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE), June 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.35489/bsg-rise-wp_2022/099.

Full text
Abstract:
In 2015, the Tanzanian government implemented a curriculum reform that focused instruction in Grades 1 and 2 on the “3Rs”—reading, writing, and arithmetic. Consequently, almost 80 percent of the instructional time in these grades was mandated towards foundational literacy in Kiswahili and numeracy skills. Other subjects such as English were no longer taught. Using student-level panel data, we evaluate the effect of this policy on learning outcomes using a difference-in-differences approach which leverages the variation in the timing of implementation across grade levels and cohorts impacted by the policy. We find that the policy increased learning by around 0.20 standard deviations in Kiswahili and math test scores one year after the start of the reform. Timely teacher training on the new curriculum was associated with even larger effects. Evaluating longer term outcomes, we find suggestive evidence that the reform decreased the dropout rate of children up to four years later. However, this was also accompanied with lower average passing rates in the national Grade 4 examination due to compositional changes as low-performing students became less likely to dropout.
