Introduction

Although most teachers of English agree that students learn to write by writing, there are probably as many effective course designs as there are good instructors. A student's attitude toward writing can affect both motivation and performance. He or she must feel comfortable enough to write freely and to learn instead of trying to hide errors by writing as little as possible. Since basic writing students may bring to the classroom negative attitudes about English class and about their own abilities, the teacher may need to fight the "I can't write" attitude by helping students see that their reluctance is the cause of many writing problems rather than the result of them. The instructor's attitude and expectations are key factors in student learning.The first weeks of any basic writing course can make or break student attitude and, thus, affect student progress. Reflective writing is usu­ally a good idea that can effectively involve students.
