The improvement happened not only in the students’ writing scores but also in the classroom situation. Most of the students paid full
attention to the teacher’s explanation more seriously. Many of them did not speak and chat one another during the lesson as they did in the
previous time. Only a few students who asked for permission to go to the bathroom and it did not take long time. When the teacher checked them,
they really went out there. The students’ activeness to do the assignment increased. Many
of them sent the assignment via e-mail earlier than the time given. In other word, their eagerness to do the homework improved. They did the
homework more actively. When the teacher asked them questions, they tended to respond more actively. Many of the students took a part
actively during the teaching and learning process.
