Abstract
It is a must for educators to overcome several problems dealing with teaching writing. We have to consider the students of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). They are not as good as the native speakers in writing and are not as fluently as the native speaker in speaking. Thus, the educators must scaffold the learners. Moreover, educators must provide the material and prepare the classroom to make the learners absorb the material. This research attempt to find out how Talk for Writing approach can support educators in developing students’ writing in junior high school level. Teacher can come up with daily oral retelling, asking the learners to read the example, guiding them to make temporary writing, and finally, giving them opportunity to set up the permanent writing. The educator’s role is as the facilitator and motivator. By doing so, the learners will learn step by step and learn several skills as well.
Keywords: Talk for writing approach, teaching writing, and scaffold.
