Summary

Introduction

Writing activity in the context of language learning is the most complex writing activity because it requires high skills (Ahmadi, 2019a, 2020a; Hayes, 2012). That is why not all students are able to write and succeed in writing because many indicators are used as parameters (Crossley, Roscoe, & McNamara, 2014) of success. These indicators are from the theoretical, methodological, assessment context and related to the instructor's strategy (Porte, 1995) and the learning environment. It is not wrong if there is an assumption that writing is difficult. A teacher, according to Blikstad-Balas, Roe, and Klette (2018), has sustainably facilitated the learning of writing and not fragmentary to get more successful learning of writing
