EFFECTIVE TEACHING STRATEGIES FOR FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHERS TO DEVELOP WRITING SKILLS

Abstract. Writing skills in a foreign language are the main language skills for students to express their ideas logically, fluently and effectively in writing. The development of this skill is not limited to the mastery of grammatical rules and vocabulary, but also requires the correct structuring of ideas, the con­sistency of content and the application of a creative approach. The formation of writing skills is a multidisci­plinary process, and in this process, students' critical thinking, planning and communication skills are also developed. Effective writing teaching should be carried out in stages, based on the main stages such as prep­aration, writing, editing, proofreading and presentation. In the teaching process, students first get acquainted with the topic, plan their ideas, then write the writing freely, then edit it in terms of content and structure, correct language and grammar errors and finally present the writing. These stages systematize the writing process and create conditions for students to consistently develop their writing skills. Writing skills devel­opment uses a variety of practical strategies, such as working on model texts, a step-by-step writing process, group work, graphic organizers and creative tasks, which enhance students' language skills as well as their communicative and creative abilities. These approaches strengthen students' attitudes towards language, pre­pare them to express themselves more freely and confidently, and overall enable them to learn a foreign lan­guage more effectively.

The article examines modern and effective teaching strategies aimed at developing the writing skills of foreign language teachers and explains their practical application methods.
