Proposing Scaffolding techniques in teaching and learning English writing skills for students

Abstract

English writing skills are among the most crucial aspects of foreign language learning. However, many students continue to face difficulties and fail to achieve their desired outcomes. This paper proposes some student-centered scaffolding methods, enabling teachers to develop students’ self-learning ability by using scaffolding techniques such as: visual aids; providing sentence frames; breaking down tasks; providing sample texts; using collaborative group activities. In addition, the paper also outlines a step-by-step essay writing process, providing students with a clear framework for organizing their thoughts and ideas.
