INTRODUCTION
A.
Background
of the Study
As we realize that English is popular since it becomes of
International Language. It is used by milions of people all over the world.
Nowadays, English has become the language of commerce, technology, politics as
well as education.
For Indonesia, English is a foreign language. Learnig a
foreign language is an integrated process that the learner should study the
four basic skill : listening, speaking, reading and writing. We use it to
understand our world through listening and reading and to communicative our
feeling need and desire through speaking and writing. By having more knowledge
about language skill we have much better chance of undestanding and being
understood and getting what we want and need from these around us.
Writing is one of four basic skills, it is very important
in teaching and learning English. Writing involves some language component
(spelling, grammar, vocabulary, and punctuation).
We all realize how important English for our children.
The authority was obliged all of Educational official in all province in
Indonesia should provide the lesson in each school. All Indonesia people agree
with this curriculum that could be make their children know English from
beginning. More better than before which they took in years ago. All of the
component in this nation should support this policy by all their ability.
There are so many things that can get from English. Like a
senoir high school students, they can proceed in their academic achievement
with English. As well all know, most of the source books, whether it is social
or natural science are written in English. In addition English is also
important for next generation in order can compete to International completion
and prepare our human resource in global completion.
To make students able to use English for communication,
ones of the skills which has to be understood is writing. Because it is the
basic language element learning writing is higly require sins. It is basic for
mastering any language. From writing they can telling and explaining something
in spite of only a simple statement. This skill must be trained to bring up
capability in writing process to the writer as well.
In writing something we should have more knowledge. How
could we produce information if we do not any information to give. Just like an
empty kettle that will not give any water for any body. Through writing, we can
transfer our ideas and information in the paper with the good sentences. We can
express everything in our mind in to the form of writing. Teacher as manager in
the class should be creative in transferring the knowledge students bored. Teacher
should perform their job nicely by using teching aids. Media could also be
instrument in teaching. We are focussing on Information technology media, such
as Blogging.
In choosing the media you will find that the media itself
has its own characteristic. So it has weakness and strength. Usually we used
the conventional media such as cassette or vcd player but now we try to teach
english by using internet media in the class. This media is more powerful than
conventional media. Because students can visualy learn english by expressing
their media in written and in the same time they can see the respon of their
ideas form chat mate directly online.
The researcher has chosen a title about writing in
teaching writing in high school, because there are some problem in MA
Arrasyidiyyah that appear in teaching writing activity. As like the students of
MA Arrasyidiyyah are still lack of practice, the lack of motivation from the
teacher, no media to express the student’s writing, and also the weakness of
the students to understand about topic sentences and lack of their vocabulary, never
use the media studying in teaching writing, the teacher does not make
innovation for the teaching etc. Beside that according some of the student english
has symbols which difficult to understand by the students, so as the teacher
must give a lot of task to practice the writing in the class.
Based on the problem above, so the writer has chosen
Blogging to solve the writing process in the classroom. The student will more
motivate to express their mind on the blogging because it is as like their personal
diary. The student can express anywhere they want in classroom, their room or
at the park.
There are many technique and method in teaching language,
especially in teaching writing English. The new of all is Blogging. In here,
the writer assumses this method is so fun and increase more motivate of the
students.
B.

CHAPTER
II
THEORETICAL
DESCRIPTION
A.
Definition of Teaching
Teaching is a process to give guidance the
students to reach the goals. Teaching known as “Instruction” it means process
that makes someone do learning. Teaching is a media for learning process
includes behavior individual changes through pre- planned.
Teaching is an existing job. Today, many references help teachers
to get some solutions of problems in teaching learning process. The teachers
can use some references to find out some techniques of teaching in their
classroom. On the other hand, teaching is not easy to do. The teacher should do
much of his work before entering the classroom. According to Brown,
Teaching
is a superior job, is the demanding job. Among the demanding tasks are
modifying the approaches, Syllabus, technique, and exercises to adopt and
maximize the learning of a class as well as of most of its individual members.
It can be stated from the definition above
that teaching is not just presenting information or knowledge to students, but it
needs strategies and tactics. The teacher must decide what goals it would be
best to teach and what strategies and tactics are best suited for teaching
these goals.
According to Patricia, “It is important for
teacher to include as many techniques as possible to enhance student learning”.
The knowledge gives
the intelligence concerning to import, as a knowledge before unknown, or rules
for practice to inculcate as true or important to exhibits impressively as, to
teach arithmetic, dancing, music, or the like to teach morals.
The objective of language is to encourage
effective communication in daily life, by practicing effective expression,
increasing vocabulary, give sample opportunities that use language to describe,
to compare and relate experiences, thoughts and felling, creating stories
dramas, song, poems, etc. Language should be embedded throughout all
activities.
Moreover, young learner can learn easily many
languages. Young learner are equipped by language acquisition device,
therefore, they will not have any difficulty to learn two or three different
language at the same time.
B.
Writing
Writing is a method of representing language in
visual or tactile form. Writing systems use sets of symbols to represent the
sounds of speech, and may also have symbols for such things as punctuation and
numerals.
1.
Definition of Writing
Writing
is important part of language
learning. There are many aspects point out that writing is an activity or
occupation which is done by a person to express their ideas clearly in a
written form to an intended audience. Writing is a mean to communicate, to
convey message, ideas and printed word. And writing can also be read by anyone
known as written language. "Learning to write in essence is a lesson about how
to express one's ideas and feelings through the medium of writing". And another said “writing is expressing someone about
their ideas, opinion, thinking, or feeling use language writing”
The
writing process that a person does, not only involve the ability to write
correct and appropriate
sentences, the ability to use spelling, punctuation, commas ect. But also the
ability to think creatively excluding all information which is not necessary.
It is generally a greed that learning to write well is a difficult and time
consuming process. In order to write well an individual needs more than basic
mechanical control, especially the non native students finishing a writing
assignment or project even
though she/he has sufficient mechanical ability in the foreign language.
Therefore, writing process will be better if it involves the writers interest
in writing.
Writing,
as one of four skills taught in learning and teaching english is defined in
many ways by many experts. Writing is making the ideas visible and available to
readers whether on paper, computer screen or through some other medium; using
the brain stroming
notes, outlines or other results of planning activities to produce text. This
complex activity involves everything from the physical act of shapes letters or
making key strokes to the mental processes of choosing words, forming
sentences, arranging paragraphs and structuring the organizations.
2.
Genre in English Writing
English writing have divided into some of parts, for
example : descriptive text, procedure text, narrative text, recount text, and
report text.
a)
Descriptive text is
we write to discribe a particular person, place or thing.
b)
Procedure text is
we write to discribe how something is accomplished through a sequence of action
or steps.
c)
Narrative text is
we write to amuse, entertain, and to deal with actual or vicarious experience
in different ways.
d)
Recount text is we
write to retell events for the purpose of imforming or intertaining.
e)
Report text is we
write to discribe the ways things are with reference to a range of natural,
man-made and social phenomena in our
environment
3.
The
Nature of Writing
Learning
writing means learn to organize the experience, information and ideas
particularly different language pattern. To produce a good text of writing
needs hard practice and process.
Writing
is not only how to make sentences in paragraph, but also how to express the
ideas in consecutive way through the appropriate graphic symbol and structure. David Nunas
suggest; Writing is an extremely complex continue activity in which the writer
required to demonstrate control of a number of variables simultaneously. To get
fluent writing, the writer has to check some components such as word , grammar
linking ideas and spelling before finishing the writing.
In
order to make the activities of writing meaning full and understandable, the
activities of writing must be communicative. The students should know exactly
what they want to convey.
4.
The
Writing Skill
Writing
skills are essential for sharing information and documenting ideas. Building
writing skills takes practice and hard work. Students must be taught the basics before they
can be expected to produce quality writing. Once student master the basics,
they will be ready to write both creatively and for a purpose.
Finch and Crunkilton said that “competence means the
mastery of tasks, skills, behaviors, and rewards necessary for the success or
an achievement”.
Padmadewi adds that competence is the ability in the subject and the lab to be
possessed by the graduates; capabilities that should be done by the student.
Basically, two opinions have the same idea about the notion that at its core
competence refers to the ability of students to do something by a certain
standard.
a) Handwriting
Handwriting is the
first in a series of skill that emergent writers develop. Though very basic,
handwriting is important to academic success because handwriting forms a
connection between the writer letter and the sound it represents. As students
improve their hand writing skills, they become more confident in their writing
ability. Student who struggle with handwriting are often frustrated with
written expression and begin to dislike the writing process. Student can trace
letter, “draw” letters in paint or shaving cream, use tweezers to move small
objects and complete connect-the-dot pictures to build handwriting skills.
b) Identification
Identifying aspects of
the written word is an essential skill for emergent writers. When teaching
writing at any level, identification strategies are used to improve writing.
Beginning writers should be able to identify uppercase and lowercase letters
and sounds associated with letters. As writing skills become more fluent,
students should be taught to identify complete sentences, sentence fragments
and run-ons. Students should also be able to identify topic sentences and
supporting details. These identification strategies are skill that create
strong writers. Help student master identification skills through use of
graphic organizers, peer editing and exposure to good writing samples.
c) Mechanics
Grammar, spelling,
punctuation, or organization are important aspects of writing. Often, it is
assumed that writers possess these basic skills, and therefore, both student
and teachers are frustrated when they are not evident. Proper use of grammar
and sentence structures makes student’s writing more effective. Spelling is
equally as important because student may not use words they are not sure how to
spell. Punctuating sentences give added meaning of writing, and organization of
words and ideas is also impreative to getting a point across. Grammar and
spelling can be taught through repetition and drill. Direct instruction in
grammar is necessary for student to master this writing skill. Help student
build confidence in their writing skills by helping them edit mechanical
mistakes in their writing, or by allowing them to dictate ideas to you.
d) Content
The most important
aspect of writing, for many people is the content. Getting student to
commnicate ideas is a skill that must be encouraged and cultivated. Sentence
starters, journals and free-writers are good ways to build writing fluency and
to encourage student to practice writing down thoughts. Continue building this
skill by teaching student the value of drafts in writing. Prewritten,or
brainstorm for ideas, the write a rough draft. Edit and revise a rough draft
until you are pleased with the final product. The drafting process is a
valueable skill for all writers and will give student a final product they can
be proud of.
5. The
Writing Process : Strategies For Writing
a.
Self questioning - Asking
themselves questions about their writing to establish audience and purpose in
their own minds, for example:
•
Why am I writing this
text?
•
Who am I writing for?
•
What kind of language
do I need to use?
•
What do I need to tell
them?
•
How will I organize my work?
b.
Planning content -
Thinking about plot, theme, information content, etc., to suit the task
through:
·
brainstorming ideas,
alone or with others
•
researching the topic
in books or on-screen, and making notes
•
using other resources
to stimulate and/or inform.
c.
Sounding out
- Rehearsing what is to be written orally prior to writing in small groups or with
talk partners and experimenting until it sounds right. ‘If they can’t think it,
they can’t write it.’
d.
Writing first draft Getting
something down on paper or on-screen. Focusing on the sequence of
ideas/content. ‘Having a go’ at problematic spelling at this stage using
spelling strategies specifically taught. This is especially important for under at training learners and
dyslexics/learners with specific learning difficulties (SpLD) who should not be
allowed to become demotivated by errors or poor handwriting.
e.
Revising the text - Reading
what has been written aloud to a partner or to self. This highlights omissions,
grammatical inconsistencies, etc., that might not be apparent if the work is
read silently since the writer will often ‘read’ what should be there rather
than what is actually on the page. Reviewing the text and identifying :
•
whether or not the text
makes sense
•
whether or not it needs
further detail to support the plot, add to description or provide missing
information
•
whether or not the tone
is appropriate for the audience
•
whether or not anything
needs to be omitted because it is repetitive or irrelevant, etc.
and
making revisions on paper or on-screen.
d.
Editing - Checking:
•
organisation/sequencing
of ideas/events/paragraphs to ensure writing is coherent
•
spelling, punctuation
and grammar.
e.
Preparing final copy - Producing
a final copy suitable for ‘publication’, preferably for a real audience, paying
attention to presentation either in legible handwriting or through using ICT
C.
Blogging
1.
What's Blogging?
The blog
is a personal diary, Your pulpit every day, Space for collaboration, Political arena of expressing
ideas. News outlets. Link collection. Mind your own. Note to the world”.
Your blog is whatever you want. There are millions of blogs, in all shapes and
sizes, and there are no real rules. “Blog (bentuk sederhana
dari weblog) adalah sebuah laman (situs) seseorang yang sering di update yang sering disebut dengan
jurnal (diari) online”.

top, center, or beside the text that we write so we always happy and more
motivate to write anything on blogging.
D.
Teaching
Writing Skill by Using Blogging
Espicially in teaching writing, these is make a big succes in learning
writing :
·
The learning and
studying process.
Often happen,
the learning and studying process
writing skill in the classroom is still very simple.
Teacher explain about the material,
and then students is writing,
then make evaluation by teacher and give some comments.
Nothing process that able give understanding to improve
the student’s writing.
·
Feedback.
Feedback is the most improtant in writing activity. However,
often never give feedback process
variously between students and teacher. The teacher usually give more comments
so just one purpose in teaching writing. The students do not know what happen for their writing
because after they finish writing, they must collect to the teacher for
correction.
·
Assessment
standards.
Assessment standards
used must be clear so as not to invite questions the validity of the values
obtained will be students.
·
Creativity and Innovation
These
shades can also work very oentik in the process of learning to write. However,
the lack of nuance in the creative and innovative learning in the classroom is
often 'just happen where all the writing is done in class so that it looks
monotonous, less' challenging' exploration of student knowledge.
·
Motivation.
Motivation
is an internal factor that oenting to help someone obtain better results.
Students who have low motivation in following the studying will certainly
affect their success in learning to write so that in the end, the students are
not able to produce a good writing and in accordance with the demands of the
curriculum after completing the studying.
Blogging, similarly
to online threaded discussion groups, is an easy way to engage in
students’ writing to the classroom. It is an effective way to manage the
lodgement, marking and return of student assessment with no fuss. Blogging with
Google’s blogger.com, LiveJournal.com, and WordPress.com is free and easy to
set up, manage, and update without additional support. As many students are
active users of Facebook, Twitter, hi5, they become familiar with blogging. Jati
said that :
“By
utilizing free blogging services on the Internet, teachers are capable of
creating and storing online supplemental materials for students, post class
notes for student review, and give general feedback to the class as whole and
individually. Additionally, students are able to submit assignments online.”
The rationale behind blogging is that it is very
convenient for users to check changes one has done to his/her blog. While with
other tools, a user needs to “check in” occasionally to see if there is any new
content posted, blogs make use of a “publish-subscribe” model, in which the
subscribers receive notifies when new content has been posted. In the writing
classroom; therefore, blogs are qualified as a pedagogical tool. They can
replace the cycle of steps in developing essay: brainstorming, writing,
submitting, receiving feedback, revising writing, and resubmitting. Blogs
clearly benefit the writing classroom. Blogs enable the instructor and students
communicate through and about writing. Both sides easily update an online
writing.
E.
Advantages
of Using Blogging in Teaching Writing Skill
With
increasingly easy access to blogging,
it is probably worth expressing your learner to a combination of both idea and blog. If possible, as with
any tool, there are a number of advantages such as :
1. Learner
may already use blogging
at home.
2. Bring
current technology into the class room.
3. Use
of a new tool can be motivating for learners.
4. Enable
learners to make contact with learners in other countries
F.
Technology
Improves English Writing
Skills
Technology
in language teaching is not new. Indeed, technology has been around in language
teaching for decades. The use of technology in the class room is becoming
increasingly important, and it will become a normal part of ELT (English
Language Teaching) practice in the coming years and it will improves English writing skill. There are many
reasons for this :
·
Internet access- either
in private home, or at internet cafes-is becoming increasingly available to
learners.
·
Younger learners are
growing up with technology, and it is natural and integrated part of their
lives. For these learners the use of technology is away to bring the outside
world into the class room. And some of these younger learners will in turn
become teacher themselves.
·
English, as an
international language, is being used in technologically mediated context.
·
Technology especially
the internet presents us with new opportunities for authentic tasks and
materials, as well as access to wealth of ready made ELT materials.
·
The internet offer
excellent opportunities for collaboration and communication between learners
who are geographically dispersed.
·
Technology is offered
with published materials such as course books and resources books for teacher.
·
Learners increasingly
expect language school to integrate technology into teaching.
·
Technology offers new
ways for practicing language and assessing performance.
·
Technology is becoming
increasingly mobile. It can be used not only in the class room, lecture hall, computer
room or self-access center; it can also be used at home, on the way to school
and in internet cafés.
·
Using a range of ICT
(Information and communication Technology) tools can give learner exposure to
and practice in all of the four main languages skill-speaking, listening,
writing and reading.
