Writing skills
are an important part of communication because good writing skills allow you to
communicate your message with clarity and ease to a far larger audience than
through face-to-face or telephone conversations. Writing is one of those skills
that deeply require students to be motivated and able to practice and practice every
day because writing skills need to be taught, they cannot be learnt unconsciously
or by immersion like speech.
Nowadays,
writing becomes easier because of many useful resources that we can take
advantage of like word-processing programs. First, a word processor is an
electronic device or a computer application software that performs word
processing which means the composition, editing, formatting and sometimes
printing of any sort of written material. So, word-processing programs are a
very useful tool that helps teachers to develop writing skills in their
students because no other technology resource has produced a big impact on
education as word processing.
Word
processing programs offer high diversity; that's why they are very useful for
teachers. Furthermore, teachers can use them to propose instruction or
activities that help students to develop writing skills. Because of its
importance as assistance to teaching and learning, word-processing programs are
known worldwide and they have become the most famous software in education. But
before using these kinds of programs, we should check some requirements to know
if these programs would be suitable for us; like the availability of software
and hardware, the knowledge about how to use the equipment and the students'
willingness and knowledge about how to use the equipment.
