Why is Writing important for an EFL teacher?

I think it is important, because is a good way to express the ideas you want to present in a class. This can help us with the grammatical correctness of the utterances. It also can help us with the way in which we speak.

What is the best way to teach writing to children? To teenagers? (Provide examples and references)

We need to motivate Children and Teenagers to use their imagination with writing. We need that they can develop a new world using their own words, so I think that a best way to teach writing could be trough telling them to write whatever they want, to put down in paper thoughts, feelings, etc. Maybe they can be motivated by that.

I think that the bests ways are:

• through blogs.
• writing essays.
• writing letters.
• etc.
