Writing in English: K2020 (my translation- google)
To be able to write in English is to be able to express ideas and opinions in an
understandable and appropriate way in different types of texts, on paper and
digitally. Writing is about planning, designing and editing texts
that communicate, adapting the language to the purpose, recipient and
situation and choosing suitable writing strategies.
The development of writing skills in English goes from learning single words
and phrases to creating different types of coherent texts that convey views and
knowledge.
It also involves using different types of sources in a critical and sensible way.

Some special considerations for English writing in Norway
• Extreme difference in English language levels.
– EFL, ESL, EAL.
• Extra cognitive load.
• Affective filter.
• Need for vocabulary.

What does K202 say about evaluating these writing skills? Formative evaluation (Now not an option) • Pupils show and develop competence in English at 3rd and 4th level as
they play, explore and participate in oral, written and digital interaction.
• The teacher shall facilitate student participation and stimulate engaged
learning by using varied strategies and learning resources to develop
students' reading, oral, and written skills.
• The teacher shall provide feedback for continued learning and adapt their
teaching so that students can use this feedback to develop reading, writing,
and oral and digital skills.
