Abstract

Writing in English is important for vocational high school (SMK) students toprepare their future career so that they can compete with other job seekers bothin Indonesia and other countries. However, the students find that writing isdifficult to learn due to some cases: (1) they are less interested in it because it isnot correlated with their major, (2) the limited time availability (3) the teachinglearning process is less meaningful, and (4) they are lack of feedback due to thebig number of students in one class.
