1 Motivator
The teacher will motivate the students to make paragraphs by creating the right condition for generating ideas. The teacher persuades the students to
make useful activity in class. The teacher also encourages the students to make as much effort as possible for maximum benefit Harmer, 2007: 330
2 Resource
According to Harmer 330, the teacher should be ready to supply information and language where necessary. The students could believe that
the teacher are always available and be prepared to look at their work, offering advice and suggestion.
3 Feedback provider
Feedback provider is an important actor in the writing process. The teacher task is to ‘respond positively and encouragingly to the content of what the
students have written’ 331. The teacher will consider the correction based on the students’ need.
c. General Principle for Teaching Writing
The National Council of Teachers of English, Commission on Composition, as quoted by Norton 1980: 271-272, puts forth some general
principles they believe essential both in planning the writing curriculum and in teaching writing as follows:
1 Life in language: Teacher of English can help students to expand and enlarge
their worlds, and live more fully by awaking the students to the possibilities of language.
2 Need for writing: Writing is an important medium for self-expression,
communication, and the discovery of meaning. 3
Positive instruction in writing should be positive; students should be encouraged to use language.
4 Learning how to write: Learning how to write requires writing; writing
practice should be a major emphasis. 5
Required writing: Students need a class discipline and class discussion as well as freedom.
6 Classroom writing: Students should have an opportunity to compose in class,
with help during the actual writing process in the clarifying ideas, choosing phrases, and sometimes dealing with mechanical problems.
7 Range of assignment: Assignment should be individualized, adjusted to age,
interests, and abilities of the students. 8
Support for composing: Writing should follow the supporting activity, but not be replaced by it.
9 Talking and writing: The teacher can exploit interest in oral composition as a
step towards writing, but the importance of the write words remains, and practice in oral composition is not sufficient.
d. The Benefits of Writing
Pereira 1991: 50 states that writing has moved up into the scale of classroom priorities, partly because it provides the following benefits:
1 Writing and thinking are closely connected. The process of writing enables
students to explore a topic fully. 2
Writing helps students to discover what they want to say. The writing process is creative. The students sit down to write with a definite idea in mind, but as
the write, new ideas develop. 3
Writing reinforces grammar, idioms, and vocabulary that students have been working with in class.
4 When writing, students become involve with the language, with themselves,
and with their audience. 5
Students have the opportunity to be adventurous with the language, to take risks, to go beyond what has been taught.
In this study, roducing a piece of writing encourages students to think, explore new ideas, express their opinions, and present them in organization way.
