Writing Deficiencies - Article Example

Writing Deficiencies Writing Deficiencies Summary Quible and other researchers wrote an article d “Are Writing Deficiencies Creating a Lost Generation of Business Writers?”, in this article they propose that writing skills are key qualifications that are assessed while employers conduct the act of employing individuals (Quible, 2007). They state that the problem is that individuals who are working in different businesses and fresh college graduates lack the proficiency of writing. In this article they highlight the various costs associated with writing deficiency among employees and how grammar instructions given during class room training can help develop good English writers.

The researchers assert that teachers in classroom can help students develop better writing skills through the method of modified sentence combining technique. In this technique errors figured out in specific sentences are informed to the students and then the teachers provide information regarding how these errors can be eliminated and reduced. Researchers even assert that if teachers start giving importance to sentences while grading students, sentence structuring will become better as students will learn about the errors they have made.

Researchers even assert that teachers have to act as grammar police and the only way students can learn how to write in an appropriate manner is if teachers help students correct their grammatical errors and sentence formation errors at school and formal education level. The researchers believe that if students are not helped in solving the issue of writing deficiency, they may add up to the cost of organizations they work for as they may poist a negative image of the organization and their productivity levels will decline if they have to reread any business related material.
