A. INTRODUCTION
Teaching writing is one way to improve students ability to create written
work. Teaching writing’s necessary to teach writing process and special
strategies to enhence students writing competence.
The definitions of writing are variously stated by some experts.
According to Rivers (1981: 294), writing is conveying information or
expression of original ideas in a consecutive way in the new language. Brown,
(2001: 336) also states that writing is a thinking process. Furthermore, he states
that writing can be planned and given with an unlimited number of revisions
before its release.
Elbow (1973) in Brown (2001: 336) also states that writing is a two-step
process. The first process is figuring out the meaning and the second process is
putting the meaning into language. Writing represents what students think. It is
because the writing process reflects things, which stay in the mind. Students
who are reluctant to write things down often suffer for this activity. The
students find difficulties when they start looking for some reasons to write and
producing written sentences.
Another definition of writing skill is also defined by Urquhart and
Mclver and also Harmer. Urquhart and Mclver (2005: 5-6) state that writing is
a recursive process, which means students revise throughout the process,
frequently moving back and forth among the stages.

Harmer (2004) states that writing encourages students to focus on
accurate language use. It is because students consider the language use when
the students engage in their writing process. This activity would provoke
language development because the students resolve problems what writing puts
in students minds.
Based on explanations above, it can be concluded that writing is
conveying information in a consecutive way in the new language. Writing can
be planned and figuring out the meaning and then process is putting the
meaning into language.
Writing is the complex skill that students actually need through collage
because everything is based during academic years. The lecturer has helped
each and every student improve themselves, acquire new skills and become
better.
The role of lecurer to improve students writing skill is very necessary in
academic activies especially in teaching writing. A lot of practice equals better
performance becaause every knowledge and skill gets better with constant,
repetitive practice.
The brief writing session and home individual assignment and many
exam wich require essay and writing skills would assured that writing is
practiced. This practice would help they to find much easier to pull off the
better words, ideas, and content.

The writing activities are also inseparable from the reading activities so
lecturer instruct their students to expand the students insight and make their
writing activities more easier.
According to Harmer (2001: 25), there are two approaches in teaching
writing. They are focusing on the product of writing process and focusing on
the writing process itself. He states that focusing on the writing process leads
those who advocate a process approach in writing. However, lecturer has to pay
attention to the various stages of any piece of writing process.
Based on the explanation above, the lecturer has paid a special attantion
in teaching writing. The lecturer has given a regulary assign brief writing
exercise in the classes. The lecturer has given a provided guidance through the
writing process, after the students have made the assignment, discuss the eror
and mistakes.
The students try to improve their writing skills, a feedback plays a huge
role during the process. The lecturer besides teaching is to offer the students
quality feedback. The feedback should contain specific corrections, it makes the
students know whre they have specifically gone wrong during their written.
The purpose of IWCP 1 is to provide the understanding and knowledge
of information contained teaching writing. Besides speaking, writing is also an
element of communication, face-to-face communication not always possible. In
this IWCP1 learning activity the students had to understand language structure,
vocabulary and writing paragraphs because the writing skill takes a lot of
practice. From some of the benefits above, the author concludes that the
benefits of reading can obtain information not only from oral but also
information and communication in the form of writing in lesson IWCP 1, and
writing in lesson IWCP 1 has a role in expanding one's knowledge and as a
place to express all one's ideas and imagination.
Lecturer has explained the purpose of IWCP 1 to students. The students
write not because they are be commanded to write rather they write voluntarily.
In organizing ideas and developing their writing skill, the students had to learn
how to make a good sentence and paragraphs, masterin various types of
grammar and writing procedures.
B. The Objectives Of IWCP 1
