No denial to the fact but it takes time and practice to develop skills in writing but once acquired, it opens numerous opportunities on the professional job market. As compared to conventional approaches to master the writing skill, the learners of modern era who are more techno-savvy, find Activity-based learning as a more effective tool for enhancing this skill.

The paper gives a description of the concepts of writing and activity-based approach and also why the writing skill is so important. It concludes with the advantages of learning through activities and suggests that using activity-based learning exercises in the classroom environment will enhance students' writing skills.
