Today, text-messaging has probably become young people’s most common form of
communication. Someleachers think that because of this, young people are not writing correctly
at school. They fear that once students get used to it, they will find it hard to switch back to
using correct grammar and spelling. How did things begin this way?
It all began with e-mail, online chat rooms, and games. Then step by step young people made
sentences, phrases and words shorter. As text-messaging continued to become popular, people
invented more and more words. Today, it is like a real language with its own grammar and
vocabulary. The growth of text-messaging has raised an important question: As students become
fluent in textmessaging, do their writing skills suffer?
People have different ideas about the effects of text-messaging on students’ writing skills.
Some say that students are losing the ability to write long, correct sentences. Others say that
text-messaging is having a good effect on the language students use in then schoolwork. It
shows that they are creative and good at expressing themselves. And if students can keep the
two systems separate - one for textmessaging and one for school - this will help students
appreciate reading and writing more.
Some people suggest that one way to reduce the bad effects of text-messaging is to find ways
to use technology as a positive learning tool. For example, students can be allowed to type their
assignments in a cell phone message and send them to their teachers, but they must type
correctly. In this way, students are using the technology that they are familiar with to
communicate in a form of language suitable for schoolwork. It shows students that text-
messaging is fine for social communication, but correct grammar and spelling are necessary for
communication in school.
