Student Perception Definition of Terms 1.Publishing
about which they will have something to say; pre-writing that uses graphic organizers and outlines to show students how to plan their writing; drafting,
revising, and asking for feedback through peer review; and using assessment rubrics that are shown to students before they produce their texts to make
expectations clear. Instructors should always keep in mind that writers do not perform these stages linearly, but rather like in a pinball game Campbell 1998,
in which the ball moves back and forth.
Relating to the process writing on the internet, Boas 2011 implemented writing process instruction on various types of essay writing through blogs and Nings.
This research exemplified how web and social networking tools offered excellent opportunities to conduct pre writing, drafting, peer review, and revising steps in
the writing process, beside advancing students’ digital literacy.
Another study about the writing process was conducted by Blackstone, Spiri and Naganuma 2007. This study was a blended learning type combining half of the
writing process off line pre writing, first drafting, editing and revising with the blogging buddy or peer editing techniques before the students publish their final
draft on the blogs on line. The study demonstrated that students had extremely positive attitudes towards both blogging and blogging buddy system. The
researchers found out that when a student’s audience includes his or her classmates, the teacher and potentially anyone with an internet connection,
motivation to engage in meaningful written communication appears to increase.
To sum up, teaching writing as a process is a must, in order to give insight to the students on how a professional writer work in stages to produce writing product.
Further, teacher plays important role in each stage as a guide and an editor for the students to pass thorugh each stage of writing process.
