Orthography in TEFL


Students who come from various cultural backgrounds may find the formation of English letters somewhat difficult.


Students who experience such difficulties will need specific help in order to improve letter, word and text formation.


Assistance may be offered in the form of extensive practice exercises focusing on the formation of individual letters.


This could perhaps involve the teacher writing letters, words or sentences out neatly and leaving sufficient space below for the student to copy or imitate the writing.


Handwriting is an important skill necessary for examination purposes and a student should not be unduly disadvantaged because of poor handwriting.
