 An effective writing course is the one which encourages not only students but also teachers to reflect their own practice, to reflect their own experiences and share their own experiences with the students. Can I ask you one question? Have you ever seen a teacher who has presented her own writing to her students? There could be very few. The answer could be in a very limited number of teachers who really present their own writing and writing experiences to their own students. So the point which I want to make is that an effective writing course should have a component of self-reflection, should have a component of teachers self-evaluation where they go through training where they get training and improve their own pedagogy. So in this regard, teachers' training program should focus on stretching teachers' understanding about the goals of writing course, the theories to be used in the writing course, which theoretical paradigm they would like to stick to, whether they want to make their own operational theory in the light of other theories existing in the literature and what sort of content they want to bring in and syllabus and materials. So have you ever used authentic materials in the classroom, the materials which are not specially created for language teaching, for example, talk shows, newspapers or other items and activities and feedbacks? So overall, a training program should focus a range of topics from goals to theories to content to syllabus to materials to activities to feedback. So what will it do? It will eventually enhance teachers' teaching experience. They would critically reflect upon on their own teaching. They would test on their own writing practices and when sort of, it's sort of self-reflection, it's sort of self-assessment. So we as language teachers need to accept this reality that we are reflective practitioners. We are not just like going into the classroom, teaching the content, coming back and doing our other activities rather the best teacher, effective teacher is the one who reflects on our own experience and I have myself learned a lot through reflection and during my training in the UK, I was made to reflect and ponder on my own classroom activities. So that gives a sense of responsibility to the teachers. Another component of training, teachers' training course should be a massive amount of writing. By this I mean which encourages teachers to produce, to write by themselves on different yarn rows, on different rhetorics and then for example, it could be reports, it could be letter writing, it could be essay writing, it could be topical or it could be situational, it could be contextual and it could be research papers which encourages students to make the use of academic writing tools for their writing. So overall, teachers' experience in a writing course is important. This is how, this is quite reciprocal. I mean the things learned through teacher training program will eventually help teacher see their students' problems from personal perspective and they can personalize their teaching. So this is how I would, as I said in the beginning of this module, have you ever presented as a teacher your writing to your students? So I would like to encourage you to think of planning your own writing and presenting the messiness attached to writing, what problems you went through, what processes you employed to create a writing, a piece of writing. So presenting your own writing to the students for discussion can be a handy technique in a writing course.
