Writing is a complex process that involves a number of competences and a degree of imagination. It can be evolved by using the 4Cs in the content areas: integrating creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication, all of which teachers have struggled to include as part of their curricula. These struggles are often caused by logistic and financial constraints. With the professional demand pressingly navigating towards technology, teachers can aid their students by applying solution amenable to immediate use, low cost and tolerates interdisciplinary implementation. The first step would be to abandon the conventional curricula that were taught before as most of the current students are at a whole new technological level. They can be replaced by more pertinent skills that cater to the artistic and professional outlooks of students. This will ultimately equip them to be able to meet the market standards and improve their vocational prospects.
English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is an expanding field of research that has been prompted by the adoption of English as the international language of the world. Non-native speakers have their share of needs, perceptions, and preferences for their learning process that is currently under extensive research. Since EFL is applied in different countries, the instructors are advised to retain a measure of flexibility that can accommodate these dissimilarities as well as the changing face of the 21st-century classroom. Furthermore, EFL is a mixture of speaking and writing skills, so it is important to provide for both needs as some who have one preference over the other. Levels of education will exhibit variable needs and difficulties within the parameters of EFL, so educators are encouraged to account for them while preparing their curricula. Students often cite the lack of time and proper teaching strategies as hindrances for advancing in their EFL courses. They demand a more critical and analytic approach to teaching that utilizes the advancements of technology as aiding tools. It seems imperative that as the teaching skills evolve, the principles and guidelines of teaching EFL must also undergo the same changes that would give instructors and learners the necessary tool to excel in learning English for both social and academic purposes.
