How to Teach Writing Skills to ESL Students By Delene Sholes, eHow Contributor The teachers of speakers of English as a second language (ESL students) have a challenging but rewarding job. ESL students in a classroom may perform at different levels and come from countries with vastly different cultures. The teacher must not only find out how much the students know about writing in English but also learn about the differences in cultures within the classroom. The first milestone for students learning to write in English as a second language is that the message is clear and meaningful. Use of correct grammar and punctuation will develop, but the meaning can often be understood without proper grammar and spelling. Only after the students are able to write simple lists and sentences should they begin to learn to edit and revise their work to achieve acceptable grammar. The teacher who works with patience and respect for differences and effort will be rewarded with evidence of progress in her students' writing.
