Question1: What are the reasons for the failure of the teacher who is experienced at conducting writing lessons?

Answer:

The teacher’s failure is probably due to the neglect of learners’ needs analysis. She didn’t take into consideration of students’ language level and the goal of their writing study. She neglects the fact that her English diaries and writings might be deviant from the requirements of students’ writing. Either they are too easy or too difficult for students to imitate. Besides, imitation can only be an instruction strategy; students have to write by themselves after they get familiar with it.

Question 2: In class, what can you do if students fail to complete the required tasks?

Answer:

If students fail to complete the required tasks, the teacher can encourage them to have another try. If the students continue to fail, the teacher may ask the student to sit down and invite another more student to complete the task and to show the former student how to complete the task. If time permits, the former student can be invited again to retry a similar task.
