Championing Students' Writing Skill through the Use of Wattpad
(I)
Many students believe that writing is one of the most difficult
English skills to master. Writing is obviously not easy to be mastered
in a short period of time because of the grammatical knowledge and
the amount of vocabulary needed in order for the them to be able to
write properly. (R) Many of them also acknowledge that they may be
able to become proficient writer in no time if they
have the dedication and determination to learn as well as a lot of
practice.(G)
However, the real challenge for many teachers is how to get the
students to start to write and love the process of learning how to
write itself. (F) This paper presentation will illustrate an
innovative idea in teaching writing that can be promoted to guide
students' writing skill by utilizing wattpad. Wattpad is one of
the largest online reading platform that exist. Currently it has
about 45 millions members globally. Wattpad has also been considered as
the Youtube of writing because it allows any authors to share their
work with wider audiences in the world.
Wattpad is an ideal tool to help students to enhance their writing
skill because they can find and follow their favourite authors on
wattpad, choose and read any kind of books that interest them for
free and in addition, they can write and release their own works on
it as well.
