Summary/Abstract: To what degree can writing skills be developed during an academic semester? Is writing stil important in this era of communication which seems to favour oral communication? What is the best method to adopt when teaching writing skills? This article contains a case study on graph descriptions which suggests answers to these questions. As teachers, we need to make room for writing tasks during classes, as it is only by practice that we can develop this skill. Writing does not come as naturally as speech, so the best way to teach it is to provide it with a context and a purpose.
