a. There are 3 English classes in the Theology Study Program. The researcher chose class B as a cluster sample of participants. There were 22 students in
this class. According to the English lecturer, the class chosen has varied ability in learning English. Some of the students are very clever, but some of
them have very low ability in learning English. This information became a challenge for the researcher to make a design which is able to facilitate that
varied ability. b. Besides the varied ability, the students have varied motivation in learning
English. Twelve out of 22 students did not like to write something in English. It means that the academic motivation in learning English is low. Actually,
the students have willingness to be able to write something in English, but the limitation of knowledge in English, such as, not mastering English grammar
and the lack of vocabulary, became a big problem to develop their ability in writing.
c. Actually, the students realized that their ability in writing is very much needed since the students will become the proclaimers of the Good News,
whether it is spoken or written. The students have willingness to develop their writing ability by making a draft and following the thinking process. In
improving their writing skill, the students have to practice more and master English grammar. Due to this context, the researcher has to provide some
explanation of the text discussed, generic structure and language features used in a text and how to make a draft of writing using mind mapping.

d. Based on the result of a questionnaire and interview, the students have some interesting activities in practicing writing. The activities are writing personal
experiencesdiary, making a pictorial story, completing and arranging paragraph, and writing a letter. Moreover, in improving their writing skills,
the students chose some strategies in learning activity, namely self-practice, group discussion and consultation with a lecturer or peer feedback.
By interviewing the English lecturer, the researcher knew that the lecturer did not use specific strategy in teaching especially in teaching writing. The
teaching strategy was still problematic since most of the students had poor writing proficiencies. The lecturer needed clear instructional materials to accommodate
the students‟ lack. That reason became a basis for the researcher to design a set of material based on Ignatian Pedagogy.
