SUPPORTING EDUCATORS TO FURTHER DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ WRITING THROUGH TALK FOR WRITING APPROACH
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.
