Summary of Progress
Ivan’s writing skill is very basic. It was not well structured, and he had limited range of vocabulary. He used basic grammar (most of the time present simple tense) in his writing. For writing task 1, he did not use appropriate language to describe the data/changes/trend, and for writing task 2, his writing often went off topic. There were also quite many grammatical errors in his writing. The use of punctuation such as the use of stop was not appropriate, and he also sometimes forgot to use capital letters.

To improve his writing, there were several steps implemented in the class. First, for writing task 1, types of data were introduced along with useful languages used to describe the changes/trends. Structure of writing task 1 was also introduced. Grammar lesson was given based on the topic of the lesson (present tense, past tense, active and passive sentences). In every lesson, he would produce one writing. Feedback would be given on the spot or in the next meeting. For writing task 2, types of essay were introduced along with the structure of each essay. Useful languages were also given. He would also produce one essay in every lesson that would be checked. Feedback was also provided on the spot or in the next meeting.
