Abstract

Writing an argumentative essay might put more challenges toEFL low proficient students.  This paper seeks to shed light on the contribution of pre-writing techniques to the development of logical thinking expected in an argumentative essayamong Indonesian EFL university students. With two objectives leading the discussion, the paper suggests pre-planning to construct thinking while simulatenously reading going along with the writing as a source of input. Clustering and outlining, the proposed two pre-writing techniques, are found to facilitate the students’ abstract thinking prior to writing and assist the higher order thinking skill for better writing outcomes. It is suggested that pre-writing techniques should be a regular practice especially for low proficient student writers, with each technique serving different purposes.Keywords:argumentative writing, clustering, outlining, pre-writing techniques

Abstract

This study aims at exploring the effects of collaborative writing (CW) on students’ argumentative essays and their perceptions about its implementation. It involved 42 students from a state university in Indonesia, grouped into two: 14 students of control group and 28 of experimental group. In the control group, argumentative writing tasks were completed individually; in the experimental group, these tasks were conducted in pairs. Writing quality was determined by a holistic rating procedure that included content, organization, grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics. Results of the study showed that CW had an overall significant effect on students’ L2 argumentative writing quality.  However, this effect varied from one writing aspect to another; the effects were significant for content, organization, and vocabulary, but not for grammar and mechanics. In addition, the findings also revealed that the students enjoyed the CW activitis, and most of them perceived CW positively as it improved their L2 writing performance. Keywords: argumentative writing, collaborative writing, writing quality, students’ perception
