Abstract
Writing is a very important skill in language acquisition, and as such it requires special attention. That is why the first chapter of this project gives the reader a clear picture of the English language situation in Namibia. The situation of the English language changed after independence and has become the main medium of instruction today. The second chapter deals with Teaching/Learning problems in the country. Indeed, it shows that learning is associated with learning in difficult circumstances, where a teacher-centred style of teaching, students relying heavily on the teacher, inflexible methodology, rigid syllabus, all act as limitations. Chapter three sheds light on the requirements of "good" writing. Chapter four proposes ways which can make writing enjoyable for students. In chapter five we give some activities/tasks suitable for the learners to articulate their participation in the process of learning to write. The sixth chapter is about the implementation and management of the given material related to the project. It is designed to suggest to the teacher ways which might be helpful in applying the proposed writing technique. The final chapter raises the problem of evaluation and suggests some ways of carrying out the evaluation of the project.
