Metacognitive Reflection

Writing in a second language form is always one of the most uncomfortable skills for learners. Communicating their ideas and trying to make them clear is perhaps the most difficult one. During the different processes writing takes place students concentrate not only in the structure of the text but also the way they need to communicate their ideas. We as teachers need to stimulate this skill in order for our students to feel comfortable when writing and to understand the fact that writing takes time and steps besides knowing that is not always written as a final draft but as the first one which needs revision and work. It is a very useful tool to make them see that with practice they can accurately communicate their ideas in their second language.
