free writing approach which means all writing the students do for which a great deal of the content and or form is supplied. In controlled tasks, for example, more is given to the students:
an outline to complete, a paragraph to manipulate, a model to follow, or a passage to continue. Even though, the researcher thinks that
CQG“ as a part of drilling activity was still important for practicing new patterns of language, it did not mean that he totally agreed with
what behaviorists thought that to teach a perfect teaching method the errors would never be committed in the first place. According to Behaviorist Richards, 1974: 20, drilling was as a way
of making students become perfect in understanding and using the language for communication, so the process of teaching and learning would be able to avoid students of making mistake in
using language. In this case, it did not mean that the researcher would not give any free writing activity at all to the students. But, it would be done by the students as a final task of the process
of learning writing after the had got p a ti e of CQG“ . Co side i g that the hole p o ess of

new language.
