Abstract:
This study is designed to investigate '' the Effectiveness of
Using Writing Skills in improving Written Performance at
Secondary School Level. The main aim of this study is to reflect
the importance of the teachers' role in improving written
performance for secondary school students. The data of this
study were collected through questionnaire. It was designed and
distributed to (30) secondary school teachers at Umbada
Locality. The respondents who participated in this study were
randomly selected from different secondary schools in Umbada
Locality. The researcher used descriptive analytic method. The
study found out that teaching writing needs more efforts than
other language skills; in addition to that, writing provides
additional contact with the language outside the classroom so it
is an important means of communication. The findings also
show that some of the writing problems are due to the teachers'
role in teaching writing skills; in addition, the time given to
English period is too short for practicing writing skill. The study
recommends that teachers should give opportunities for their
students to practice writing inside and outside the classroom
