DEVELOPING WRITING SKILLS IN LINE WITH CEFR REQUIREMENTS: PRACTICAL METHODOLOGY FOR TEACHERS
Abstract
This article explores practical ways of developing students’ writing skills in accordance with CEFR standards. Writing is often considered one of the most difficult skills for language learners, particularly at B1 and B2 levels. Based on classroom experience and methodological analysis, the paper discusses common learner difficulties and suggests effective teaching strategies. Special attention is given to process-based writing, structured feedback, and the gradual development of coherence and vocabulary. The study concludes that systematic practice combined with teacher guidance leads to noticeable improvement in students’ written performance.
