Abstract:

The last acquired skill is writing when it comes to basic language skills. Writing is a kind of skill that can be applied when the other skills are acquired. Thus, it is necessary to acquire listening, speaking and reading skills before teaching writing skills as it is fed on these skills. The task of native language teaching programmes is to enable learners to use these skills effectively in their lives. Because of the fact that other skills, especially listening and speaking, also partly reading are acquired in the family, only writing is acquired in formal education institutions. In this sense, it is assessed in a separate category in native language programmes. Research carried out both in Turkey and in the world shows that neither in our country, nor in the world is the writing skill at the desired level. These research focus on the reasons why the learners' creativity levels are low when writing is concerned. The reasons are thought to be learners, teachers, environment and the education system itself.
