Abstract

Writing encourages students to be creative, use their imagination and produce original ideas; it provides a wide variety of activities in the classroom which, taught properly, can be very enjoyable and motivating. The article examines various techniques which enable students to develop their writing skills and language abilities. The focus is put on the methods which help organise classes in such a way that they will serve the needs of students in the most effective manner, enrich their language and creative competence.
