INTRODUCTION
Activate Your Writing for B2 Exams is a new book that aims to develop students’ writing skills in an
innovative and effective manner.
The focus throughout the book is on providing students with support and encouragement, thereby
ensuring they have the confidence and ability to produce a piece of writing at B2 level, thus preparing

them for a number of the B2-level examinations. Emphasis is placed on developing the critical thinking
skills of learners through a variety of exercises and task types: comparing, sequencing, negotiation,

debating and reasoning, just to name a few.

Skill integration is advocated throughout the book. In order for students to express their ideas in an
effective manner, they need to be involved in brainstorming, with the aim of clarifying their thoughts and
forming opinions.

With the intention of ensuring quality writing, students are guided to become empowered learners and
are as such provided with intrinsic motivation to learn. Through empowerment, learners recognise and act
upon their abilities.
Bearing in mind the four dimensions of empowerment listed below, learners become confident writers,

capable of making choices and approaching tasks in a positive manner:

Meaningfulness of the task: in order for a student to be motivated, the task should mean something,

hence the focus is on brainstorming individual ideas, preferences and beliefs.
Competence: empowerment is derived from the feeling of being ‘capable’ of performing the task in
question. Students need to say ‘I can do that:
Impact: the more impact a student believes he or she has on a lesson, the more motivation there is to
make an effort.

Choice: students need to be given the choice with regard to what the task goals are and how they should
be accomplished.
