Significance of the Study
involves communicating a message something to say by making sign on a page. It implies when the students are doing the writing process, they involve in
producing language output rather than receiving it. In writing, people require a message and someone to communicate. It is because writing skill is important to
improve a communicative competence of learning the language. Learners learn and acquire language through both written and spoken ways so that they can
improve their communicative competence. In the process of communication, learners understand the rules on how to communicate to others, how to get
information, and how to communicate about the language itself. When the learners understand the knowledge of the language, it means that they have a
language competence. Writing is actually an activity to produce symbols as a message presented
to other people. Tarigan 1994:3 says that writing is an activity to produce or draw graphic symbols, which represent a language that is understood by people. It
implies that they are able to read the graphic symbol presented as a message. People will more understand the presented graphic symbols if they understand the
language and the graphic itself. According to Ramelan 1992:14 writing is representation or symbol of language. It means that writing is one of the tools of
communication as a representation of language. Writing is the most complex skill compared to three other skills. Writing
belongs to productive skill because it produces writing product as a result. Linse and Nunan 2006: 98 affirm that writing refers to process and product. Writing is
the process of thinking to invent ideas, thinking about how to express into good
writing, and arranging the ideas into statement and paragraph clearly Nunan 1998:88. During the process of writing, the writers think, feel, and experience
many things as they produce a piece of writing. In addition, Brown 2001:335 states that written products are often as the result if thinking, drafting, and revising
procedures that require specialized skill, skill that not every speaker develops naturally. It implies that writers need to think about the content of the writing first
and then arrange the ideas using appropriate language. From the definition above, it can be concluded that writing is a productive
skill which produces symbols as a message to invent ideas into good statement and paragraph clearly.
