Writing at the secondary stage
Writing in this context, especially with reference to a language classroom in a secondary school, means learning and practicing the grammar of a language through written exercises. The students learn to write the sentences grammatically correct in orthography. Wren and Marten (2006) also narrated that the student has to construct sentences keeping in mind grammatical synchronization and variation, not to mention using appropriate terminology and correct spellings. At this stage the learner is likely to view words as entities of grammar, and to concentrate on the morphological changes necessary to sentence construction, rather than to see them as vehicles of meaning, through which he can communicate.
The ultimate meaning of writing skill is to construct grammatically correct sentences and to communicate a meaning to the reader. Real life communicative writing tasks, on the other hand, are letter-writing, form filling, report writing and so on. These communicative writing tasks are rarely practiced in our language classrooms. Communicative writing should be logical and coherent. Cohesion; the grammatical or structural unity and coherence; the unity of sense or meanings are also essential for high-quality writing (Shahid, 1999). Moreover the communicative writing must have a purpose and logic.
