EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC WRITING SKILLS

Abstract:

This paper explores effective strategies for improving students’ academic writing skills in higher education. Academic writing is an essential component of students’ academic success and professional development. However, many students struggle with organization, coherence, and appropriate academic style. The study analyzes pedagogical approaches, instructional tools, and digital technologies that contribute to the enhancement of writing competence. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and analysis of students’ written works. The findings reveal that explicit instruction, peer feedback, process-based writing, and the integration of digital tools significantly improve students’ academic writing. Recommendations are provided for teachers to implement these strategies effectively.
