knowledge that is expected if there are barriers.
Students struggle with writing as much as teachers struggle with teaching writing . Writing seems challenging to some students because they lack the experiences to write about, they have limited vocabulary and they cannot communicate or express because of their inability to do it in standard English. Others find writing difficult not because of their exceptionalities or lack of interest but because their preferred style of learning is absent from lessons and the methods and strategies used just don’t get the job done right.
While some of the challenges that students face points fingers to educators, educators themselves face challenges when trying to get students to become proficient writers. Some of these challenges include having to teach diverse classes where students are at different developmental levels,have different or no experiences to write about and some are not interested or dislike writing who in some cases, use more slang than standard english. Added to the list of challenges that make teaching writing difficult are parents who do not make their children’s education a priority.
