10. Using Progressive I-Can Statements to Promote Learner Confidence in Writing

    In: English Teaching Forum 2010, Volume 48, Number 4 Format(s): Text

    Language learners may sometimes feel shy and unsure of their abilities and may not be able to see what they are able to do. The authors found that writing I-can statements (e.g., I can write the names of foods in English) can be a good way to build confidence. Students use their I-can records to assess their own progress. The authors offer a starting point for teachers by presenting ideas for tasks such as copying words, writing signs, and writing about the weekend.
