2.1 English Language Writing skills : Concept and Importance
Writing skills is the most important part of communication. Good writing skills allow you to communicate your message with clarity and ease to a far larger audience than through face-to-face or telephone conversations.
You may be called upon to write a report, plan or methodology at work; write a stipend application or official statement inside of a volunteering part; or you may favour imparting your thoughts online by means of a web journal.

Now and again, be that as it may, school and college executives have allowed technology to drive the language learning programs and have even utilized it to supplant affirmed language teachers. Language technology organizations have made unverified cases about their items' capacities to offer understudies some assistance with learning languages, in this way confounding executives into believing that these advances can be a powerful cost-cutting measure.

Learning how to develop effective writing skills is really not as hard as you may think. In many cases, you can make improvements by applying simple adjustments to your individual writing process. To start, you must actually remove yourself from the whole process of writing, thus being able to actually figure out what it is you mean to say. Most people become so involved in the 'how' of writing that they forget what it is they mean to communicate. They only make writing more difficult. The process itself is not what is difficult; it is your mind that fabricates the complications. The following writing tips will help you develop effective writing skills, making your job much easier and making you more productive.
Technology in the classroom is important for teachers, parents, and students alike, because technology use has become a necessary skill for survival in today’s vastly expanding technology driven global economy.

This past semester I have been taking English 219 which is formally known as essay composition and critical reading. In this class we have focussed mainly on analytical reading, writing summaries, and writing essays. Not only did we discuss how to successfully write an essay we also learned about different tools and techniques that can be used to help discover our position in regards to a topic and many different ways to overcome writers block. There have been many things that I feel I have learned in our English 219 class this semester. Even though I am very happy with the amount of learning I have completed I do still however have some areas that I need to focus on. I will be taking more English classes throughout my college and university education. In English 219 is has been confirmed that we will all have our own individual strengths, weaknesses, and ambitions for the future.
Every day consists of writing, whether it is informal or formal. Writing comes in different forms including, emails, essays, text messages, and even note taking in class.

A learner’s ability to communicate effectively through writing to his/her target audiences is a major prerequisite for academic success. It is also a major pillar of success in one’s career across all areas of practice. Even though, writing clearly is critical to one’s academic and career success, I have not always loved writing. In fact, for a long time I despised writing. At one point, I had a feeling that my writings skills were bound to remain stagnated throughout my life. However, time has proven that I was wrong. My attitude and outlook towards virtually all genres of writing has changed positively. The various helpful methods I
Sarah Wright, a writer for Education Portal, states that there are two large reasons why one should learn to write well or improve their current skills: the Internet and the current highly competitive job market. Wright says, “Though some see the rise of digital media as the death of writing, the Internet actually makes unprecedented use of text. Newspapers were written in type, but they did not allow for the reader interaction that news websites have. And though a resume and cover letter have long been staples of a job search, the ability to make your application packet stand out is a major step in even being considered for a position” (1). As the availability of information grows on the internet, it is more important now than ever to be able to write content that stands out and is written well in today’s standards. Wright talks about the importance of writing proficiently before you have a job, but what about after you achieve the job or career you seek? When this happens, one must still work to stay skillful and competent in their written works.
Written communication involves expressing yourself clearly and effectively. The Recruitment and Employment Commission says that more than half of all resumes of seekers between the age of 21 and 25 contain grammatical errors. With today’s
Today, writing is a very important concept we all need to have the hang of. Through the years I have realized how much writing really does affect our lives. In the beginning, I will admit that my writing skills needed some work and actually, they still do. Writing has shaped my life to have better communications skills when they are needed and shows what I am capable of. I have worked retail for the past four years and being a front-end store supervisor I have learned to communicate quite well with my district manager. Learning to communicate on a professional level with the district manager allows me to show my ability on how I can handle work related situations. I have gained a lot of knowledge by being able to take in consideration

In teaching and learning English, there are two aspects that should be concerned. The first one is the language skills such as speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
