GUIDED WRITING IN THE TEACHING TO WRITE ESSAYS

Abstract. The article is devoted to the study of the effectiveness of guided writing in teaching high school students to write essays in the first years after the transition to the updated content of secondary education. The relevance of the work is due to the importance of the language creative activity of students as one of the main means of understanding the world. The scientific novelty lies in the attempt made by the authors to create and experimentally test a system of tasks for teaching essay writing. The authors have identified the difficulties that Kazakh language teachers face when teaching schoolchildren to write essays in the essay genre. Among these difficulties is the lack of domestic educational and methodological literature aimed at teaching essay writing, and the insufficiently systematic nature of the work of language teachers in this direction. As a solution to the identified problems, the article proposes the use of the "Guided Writing" strategy and a set of tasks developed on its basis, presented in a series of author's video tutorials on the YouTube channel "Slovesnik". The article contains a theoretical substantiation of the proposed strategy, examples of tasks and the results of their testing. The study was conducted using theoretical (analysis of specialized literature) and empirical methods (pedagogical experiment, questioning). The main result of the study is the successful and effective implementation of the task system developed on the basis of the Guided Writing strategy into the practice of teaching essay writing. The results of the study presented in the article can be used by language teachers in the process of teaching the Russian language to high school students.Key words: guided writing, essay, algorithm, template, task, video tutorial, teaching, essay, text.
