Abstract: Learning to write in a new language is an essential skill, especially for
young learners who are just beginning their educational journey. Writing not only
involves putting words on paper but also includes a range of cognitive and creative
skills, including vocabulary use, sentence structure, grammar, coherence, and,
significantly, motivation and confidence. Effective writing instruction can have a major
impact on a child's academic development and communication abilities.
