Writing, Non-Native English Speakers, Language Obstacles, Writing ExperienceAbstract
Writing instruction for non-native English speakers poses a special set of difficulties for teachers. Non-native English speakers’ ability to improve their writing abilities can be hampered by language obstacles, cultural differences, and a lack of familiarity with writing traditions. These difficulties may be overcome, though, with careful preparation, focused teaching tactics, and an inclusive learning environment. This article will examine the difficulties encountered by teachers while instructing non-native English speakers in writing and offer practical ideas to improve their educational experience.
