Definition Computer Based Communication Teaching material
random thoughts to a cohesive, written paper. The basic writing processes are based on the concept proposed by Badger and White 2000: 154. In
the method, students are taught planning, drafting, revising, editing and publishing strategies at each stage of the writing process to help them to
write freely and arrive at a product of good quality. In each of the lessons of computer based communication, the
strategy needed for that stage of the process of writing is taught. One instrument is used at each stage to facilitate the mastery of the strategy
taught at that stage: a. Brainstorming; b. Organizing ideas; c. Revising; and d. Editing.
From the theories above, it can be assumed that there are several steps used in teaching writing by computer based communication. The
steps are as follows
: a.
Step 1: Organizing ideas
Organizing ideas becomes the important part in the process of writing. It will help the students to produce effective writing
because it provides readers with a framework to help them fulfil their expectations about the text. In this step, organizing ideas is supported
by several questions used by the teacher. Besides, the teacher asks the students to make own blog.
b. Step 2:
Drafting Drafting is the process of writing down ideas, organizing
them into a sequence, and providing the reader with a frame for understanding these ideas. In this step, the student will do and discuss
everything together in writing their draft. Then the teacher asks the students to upload the draft to the blog.
c.
Step 3: Editing The students have to look at the draft together and consider
what improvements might be made. They have to revise the problem or mistake in their draft. They check based on the editing criteria
organization, content, grammar, mechanics, and vocabulary.
d.
Step 4: Evaluating The next step is carried out initially by the students in a
process of peer assessment.
e.
Step 5 : Publishing The last one, the students need to publish the revised one in
blog and the teacher gives appreciation and congratulates them.
