TEACHING WRITING THROUGH READING

Аннотация

This article explores the interrelationship between reading and writing in language learning, emphasizing the efficacy of using reading as a foundational tool to teach writing. Drawing from constructivist and cognitive theories, the paper outlines how exposure to well-structured texts can improve learners’ writing skills in areas such as vocabulary, syntax, coherence, and organization. It presents practical strategies for educators to integrate reading into writing instruction, including genre-based instruction, text modeling, and reading journals. The article also addresses potential challenges, such as learners' passive reading habits and limited critical thinking, and proposes solutions to overcome these issues. Ultimately, it argues that an integrated reading-writing pedagogy can lead to more holistic and effective language learning outcomes.
