A Bridge Course in Writing Skills in English

What you'll learn
The present course aims to improve the writing skills of the learner, teach structurally related elements and lead them from correctness to coherence.
Objectives were decided upon after conducting a diagnostic test, evaluating, determining the goals, keeping in view the learner and the instructional pattern.
The proficiency level in the area of 'Tenses' and 'Coherence' improves. There is focus on grammar, pattern practice and drill. There are five distinct stages.
The skill of writing is developed. The learner is in a position to produce grammatically correct sentences and coherent passages. 30 hours of teaching required
Requirements
The learner in this course is expected to have studied English for 5-6 years, linguistically he has been exposed to 250 structures and has a vocabulary of about 2500 words, the main part of which is passive. At +2 level, the learner needs the ability to write simple passages of general utility in English in paragraph writing, letter writing, note- making, summarising. etc. At this level, the learner has to face a new medium of teaching and a new medium of instruction. The emphasis now is on writing skills. Writing plays an extremely important role in the classroom. The learner has to take down notes from the teacher's lecture and the blackboard, and resort to writing of a mechanical kind. Writing from listening involves a skill of higher order. The writing skill has not been developed at school. The +2 stage is very crucial in the career of the learner. After this stage he has to join graduation classes or some professional course where he has to depend much more heavily on the skill of writing. The learner is expected to produce grammatically correct and coherent sentences. He needs to be able to think coherently. For this he has to be taught possibly with visual aids, graded guided composition. He has to be cautioned against mother tongue interference particularly against translating from mother tongue.
Description
The present course aims to improve the writing skills of the learner and can also act as a bridge course for learners who lack behind in this skill. Teaching materials have been produced for the learner who is expected to have studied English for 5-6 years, linguistically, he has been exposed to about 250 structures, and has a vocabulary of about 2500 words, the main part of which is passive.
The objective of the present course is to teach the learner structurally related elements for the coding of meaning and grammatical units and grammatical operations.
This course is problem-based, for it tries to find out the difficulties of learners in the skills of writing. This is also an activity-based course as a lot of activities are used in it. This course is also of the 'Spiral' from, new items are recurrently presented in different contexts and with different meanings. Activities focus on grammatical accuracy. All the 12 tense types are used, 'linkers' most frequent in English written discourses are taught.
The proficiency levels in the areas of 'Tense' and 'Coherence', the two most crucial areas in the language learning are improved after completing this course, weak as well as bright learners improve.
Who this course is for
This course can act as a bridge course for learner's who lack behind in the skill of writing. The learner is about to enter university, or he has to appear for an interview for some job. He could be the learner of English language as a second language. (ESL) He has probably gone to a regional medium school and has been exposed to 5-6 years of English Language. Many courses and thirty theses of American and Canadian Universities in the area of writing were studied to see if any of them had any material that could be used for developing writing skills in the learner. Much consideration has not been given to writing skills. Whatever stress is laid on writing, is on writing taken in conjunction with reading and where the skill of writing is taken up, only the format is taught, which is not tantamount to dealing with writing in the real sense. Originality and involvement of mental processes go almost completely by default. None of them was useful for the purpose. So, this course was developed for the learner at +2 level, to improve his writing skills.
