The writer is concerned about the current situation of education in Aceh, where many
students show little motivation to improve their writing performance while learning
English in the classroom and even some of them think that writing abilities is not vital to
learn. Furthermore, this module will employ the CLIL approach in an effort to enhance
students' logical thinking in relation to their writing abilities.
This module is the culmination of the author's work on a dissertation for the
Doctor of Philosophy programme in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) at
the Faculty of Education, National University of Malaysia. It is hoped that students'
critical reasoning abilities and their interest in learning about certain writing topics will
be significantly impacted by this module.
Thanks to the supervisors, Dr. Nur Ehsan Bin Mohd Said and Dr. Nur Ainil
Sulaiman, for devoting a significant amount of time and knowledge to enable the writer
to complete this module. Following that, gratitude is extended to the specialists who
assisted in the module's validation procedure.

MODUL INSTRUCTION
In order to make this module easier to use, a few components should be mentioned. The
portions of the problem statements, the instructional materials, the exercises, and the
activity sheets for the students' projects make up this module. Specific guidelines are
provided in each section.
1. Problem statement
In this section teachers and students are presented with contextual problems that
correspond to the concept of CLIL approach on obtaining students’ writing
accuracy and learning motivation. Teachers and students are asked to understand
and explore all the information given in this problem statement, because the main
objective of this module is to find a solution to the given problem. Teachers and
students must explore every knowledge related to solving these problems from
books, journals, news, and other sources.
2. Learning material
This unit introduces four foundational ideas that can be applied to the topic at hand.
Ideas such as cause and effect relationship clauses, active and passive voice, modal
auxiliaries, and selected tenses (present tense, past perfect tense, and future tense).
Since the information offered is so broad, it is assumed that students will have no
trouble grasping it all and will have no trouble using technology to complete the
included exercises and activity sheets.
The purpose of the activity is to gauge how well the students comprehend the

module. There are explicit directions for how to finish each stage. Groups of four or
five persons work on each task for the project.
CHAPTER II
INTRODUCTION
CLIL describes an evolving approach to teaching and learning where subjects are taught
and studied through the medium of a non-native language. The CLIL strategy, above all,
involves using a language that is not a student native language as a medium of
instruction and earning for primary, secondary and/or vocational-level subjects such as
maths, science, art or business (Mehisto et al. 2008) . However, CLIL also calls on
contents teachers to teach some language. In particular, content teacher — need to
support the learning of those parts of language knowledge that students are missing and
that may be preventing them mastering the content. Ohlberger & Wegner (2019 p. 2)
stated that “CLIL modules, on the other hand, are a rather short-term implementation of
teaching a content subject in a second or foreign language”.
The teacher's perspective on achieving the objectives of the teaching and learning
process that will be implemented in the classroom is reflected in the learning method.
The background of the teacher, the background of the student, the learning objectives,
the setting, and the resources possessed by the school all have a significant impact on
the method of instruction chosen (Richards & Rodgers 2014; Schunk 2012) . Learning
must paint a realistic picture for students and adhere to the government-established
curriculum. In the Indonesian educational system, schools have implemented an
autonomous curriculum programme with a focus on project-based learning for the
2022–2023 academic year. 20–30% of class time in the autonomous learning curriculum
is devoted to project-based learning, which helps students develop their personalities
and develop Pancasila student profiles (Makarim 2022).
There are many advantages to the CLIL approach: it develops confident learners
and enhances academic cognitive processes and communication skills. CLIL encourages
intercultural understanding and community values. In addition, research shows that
learners become more sensitive to vocabulary and ideas presented in their first language
as well as in the target language and they gain more extensive and varied vocabulary. In
Secondary schools, research indicates that, CLIL helps students become more proficient
3
4
in English, and it does not have a detrimental impact on either the students' L1 skills or
their subject-matter expertise (Coleman 2006).
The goals of a CLIL approach to teaching English in the classroom are twofold: to
help students gain knowledge and proficiency in English and to inculcate a value for the
language itself (Coyle et al. 2010) . The Content and Language Integrated Learning
(CLIL) approach is built around getting students to focus on and fully comprehend the
language itself as the foundation of all knowledge. In addition, the knowledge
disciplines that can be assumed to be part of CLIL can be incorporated into the CLIL
approach. The ideas of the CLIL approach will be studied and refined for use in project
planning or as the basis for problem-solving project development.
Different key concepts serving as bases for the model are discussed: the Four Cs
Framework (Content, Cognition, Communication and Culture); the Triptych Approach
(Language of, for and through learning); The CLIL Matrix and the scaffolding practices
that best identify the model (Castro-García 2017). Moreover, different components of
CLIL and their interrelation-ships have been considered in order to form a conceptual
map for understanding CLIL. The 4Cs Framework integrates four contextualized
building blocks: content (subject matter), communication (language learning and using),
cognition (learning and thinking processes) and culture (developing intercultural
understanding and global citizen- ship).
8. Use authentic materials: Integrate authentic texts and writing samples from the
vocational field to expose students to real-world examples of accurate writing.
Analyze and discuss these materials to improve students' understanding of
writing accuracy in the vocational context.
9. Monitor progress and adjust instruction: Continuously monitor students'
progress in writing accuracy and adjust instruction accordingly. Differentiate
instruction based on individual needs, providing additional support or challenges
as required.
10. Reflect and revise: Encourage students to reflect on their writing accuracy
development, identifying areas of improvement and setting personal writing
goals. Reflective activities, such as self-assessment or journaling, can enhance
metacognitive awareness and self-directed learning.
By following these steps, the CLIL approach can effectively enhance students'
writing accuracy in a vocational high school setting. It combines language instruction
with vocational content, enabling students to develop the specific writing skills
necessary for their future careers.

integrating accurate writing instruction within meaningful content, students can develop
their language skills while deepening their understanding of subject matter, leading to
improved accuracy and motivation in writing. Therefore, this CLIL writing module is
developed based on the materials adapted and adopted from the Curriculum/syllabus of
the Third-Grade Vocational High School in Indonesian setting as in Table 4.1 and 4.2.
The following lessons will address to the CLIL implementation in this module:

Cause and effect mean that things happen because something prompted them to happen.
A cause is why something happens. An effect is what happened. For example, you have
a picnic planned for Sunday afternoon. However, the weather becomes stormy and you
have to cancel your outdoor plans.
In this situation, the cause is the stormy weather and the effect of that stormy
weather is the picnic cancellation.
Cause and effect are intertwined. American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson said,
“Cause and effect are two sides of one fact.” You can’t have an effect without a cause,
nor can you have a cause without an effect. In cause-and-effect relationships, there may
be multiple causes and multiple effects. The relationship may cycle on with a cause
leading to effects that become a cause for more effects!
Let’s say that you oversleep and are late to a meeting and, because you’re late to
the meeting, you miss out on the delicious pastries the boss brought in. Since you
missed the pastries, you’re hungry and aggravated. This may in turn have an effect on
your next interaction with a colleague or client.
15
These sentences have the same cause and effect presented in a different order.
These sentences share the same meaning and show the same relationship. In the next
five sentences, determine which comes first, the cause or the effect.
Since I was up all night with my sick child, I’m exhausted this morning.
She never gave up on her writing, and now she’s published a book!
They could finish the race because they had trained for it so diligently.
They gave the restaurant a critical review because their food was burnt to a crisp.
In the first three sentences, the cause comes first. In sentences four and five, the
effect comes first.

Sentences can be described as active or passive. Sentences are usually constructed using
the active voice with a subject, verb and object. Using the passive voice is a way of
writing sentences so that the subject has the action 'done' to it – the object of the
sentence comes first. The passive voice can be useful for making writing sound more
formal and objective by focussing on the result of an action rather than the person doing
the action
a. Active voice
21
In a sentence written in the active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action.
Sentences which use the active voice are usually more straightforward to understand as
they are clear and direct.
The subject 'the winner of the race' performs the action described by the verb 'lifted'.
The subject 'the doctor' performs the action described by 'examined'. The subjects are all
doing something – they are all taking action in these sentences.
b. Passive voice
In a sentence written in the passive voice the subject is acted on by the verb.
To create the passive voice, add the verb 'to be' (in the correct tense) and then the
main verb. Often a preposition such as 'by' is also used.
For example: The patient was (past tense of to be) examined (verb) by (preposition) the
doctor. Exams have to be taken every year by pupils
Using the active voice in a sentence often means less words are used than in the passive
voice.
For example:
Passive sentences can cause confusion because they can be vague about who is
responsible for the action. For example, ‘A goal was scored’. Who scored the goal?
Doesn’t the writer know?
One way to avoid using the passive voice is to look for a ‘by’ phrase. Rewrite the
sentence so that the subject in the 'by' phrase is closer to the beginning of the sentence.
For example: ‘The exam was passed by the pupil’ would change to ‘The pupil passed
the exam’.
Although the active voice is usually the preferred choice, there are sometimes good
reasons to use the passive voice:
To show interest in the person or object that experiences an action rather than
the person or object that performs the action.
For example, the castle was built in 1066 - we are interested in the castle, not in
who built it.
Because we don't know or do not want to say who performed the action.
For example, ‘I had the feeling that I was being watched.’ - I don’t know who
was watching me
For example, ‘Pupils are not allowed in the dining hall after 1:45 p.m.’ - it is a
general rule.

A small group of auxiliary verbs, called the modal verbs (or modal auxiliary
verbs, modal auxiliaries, or simply modals) are only used in combination with
ordinary verbs. A modal verb changes the other verb's meaning to something
different from simple fact. Modals may express permission, ability, prediction,
possibility, or necessity.
There are also quasi-modal auxiliary verbs, such as ought, which is used in the phrase
''ought to.''
Auxiliary verbs affect the voice, mood, or tense of the main verb. For example:
Modal auxiliary verbs are auxiliary verbs that express possibility, permission, ability, or
willingness. For example:
An auxiliary verb is used to affect the tense, voice, or mood of a main verb. In grammar,
a modal auxiliary verb is used specifically to express possibility, capability, willingness,
or permission. Commonly used modal auxiliary verbs include: can, could, may, might,
must, shall, should, will, and would.

D. Lesson 4: Selected tenses (present tense, past perfect tense, and future tense)
a. Definition
The simple present is a verb tense with two main uses. We use the simple present tense
when an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly (or unceasingly,
which is why it’s sometimes called present indefinite). Depending on the person, the
simple present tense is formed by using the root form or by adding s or es to the end.
Example:
I feel great!
35
In the simple present, most regular verbs use the root form, except in the third-person
For a few verbs, the third-person singular ends with es instead of s. Typically, these are
verbs whose root form ends in o, ch, sh, th, ss, gh, or z.
For most regular verbs, you put the negation of the verb before the verb, e.g.,
The formula for making a simple present verb negative is do/does + not + [root form of
verb]. You can also use the contraction don’t or doesn’t instead of do not or does not.
The formula for asking a question in the simple present is do/does + [subject] + [root
form of verb].

a. Definition
The past perfect simple is used to describe one action that happened before another
action in the past. In many cases a complete sentence is written in two parts with two
different tenses, for example:
1. The past perfect simple, to refer to the action that happened first or earlier
2. The past simple to refer to the action that happened second or later
Sometimes the past perfect simple is used on its own and the action that took
place afterwards is understood, for example:
The past perfect simple tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb had together
with the V3 (past participle). The V3 (past participle) form of a regular verb looks just
like a regular verb in the past simple, for example:
1. walk > walked / study > studied / stop > stopped / create > created
There are quite a few irregular verbs in English though. It pays to memorize them.
He/She/It had lived here for three years by the time we met
Note: The order of phrases may be switched, but the meaning will stay the same.
1. By the time Doris got to the party, everyone had gone home.
2. Everyone had gone home by the time Doris had got to the party.
Note: Had Had – A verb combination that often causes confusion in the past perfect
simple is had had. Ex. I had had enough to eat but I wanted dessert anyway. The first
had is the auxiliary (or helping) verb and the second had is the V3 (or past participle) of
the main verb to have. It means that even though I ate enough, I wanted dessert after
that. It may look strange, but it is correct.
Punctuation Tip
When you begin a sentence with a time expression, put a comma (,) after the first part of
the sentence.
We often contract the subject (the person or thing that had done the action) and had:
1. I had > I’d – After I’d used the phone, I paid the bill.
2. He had > He’d / She has > She’d / It has > It’d – It’d happened so quickly, I
didn’t notice.
44
3. We had > We’d / You have > You’d /They are > They’d – We’d just gotten
home, when we heard the blast outside.
When creating negative sentences, we use the auxiliary verbs hadn’t (had not) together
with the V3 (past participle) form of the verb. You can also create a negative sentence
by using the auxiliary verb had with the time expression never and then the V3.
To create a question that will be answered with a yes or no, start the question with Had
(Hadn’t for a negative question) then add a subject (the person or thing that had done
the action) followed by the V3 (Past Participle) form of the verb and only then add the
rest of the sentence.
For example:
1. Had you cleaned up the mess by the time they came home?
2. Had Adam ever spoken to the CEO before he was fired?
The time expressions already, for, since, and yet may be used in the past perfect simple,
as they are in the present perfect simple. Remember the following rules for using other
time expressions:
45
Use after, as soon as, the moment that, until before using the past perfect simple.
Ex: After she had moved out, I found her notes. /I didn’t say
anything until she had finished talking.
Use before, when, by the time before the past simple:
Ex. Before I knew it, she had run out the door. / By the time he phoned her,
she had found someone new.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSIONS
The implementation of the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) module
has demonstrated a positive impact on enhancing EFL/ESL writing accuracy and
learning motivation among third-grade students in a vocational high school setting. The
following specific aspects of writing accuracy have shown improvement as a result of
the CLIL module:
1. Cause and Effect Relationship Clauses:
The CLIL module effectively enhanced students' understanding and usage of
cause-and-effect relationship clauses in their writing. Students demonstrated an
improved ability to express cause and effect connections accurately, thereby
enhancing the clarity and coherence of their written compositions.
2. Modal Auxiliaries:
The implementation of the CLIL module contributed to an increased mastery of
modal auxiliaries in students' writing. Students displayed improved accuracy in
using modal verbs to express possibility, necessity, obligation, and other modal
meanings, enabling them to convey their ideas more effectively and precisely.
3. Active and Passive Voice:
The CLIL module facilitated a better understanding and usage of active and
passive voice constructions in students' writing. Students exhibited enhanced
accuracy in employing active and passive voice to convey different perspectives
and emphasize varying aspects of their written work, resulting in more
sophisticated and diverse language usage.
4. Selected Tenses (Simple Past Tense, Past Perfect Tense, and Future Tense):
The CLIL module contributed to an improved grasp of selected tenses, including
the simple past tense, past perfect tense, and future tense. Students demonstrated
increased accuracy in using these tenses appropriately to situate events in time,
express completed actions, describe past experiences, and discuss future plans,
leading to more coherent and accurate narratives.

60
1. Real-World Relevance:
The CLIL module integrates vocational subject matter with English language
instruction, providing students with authentic and practical contexts to apply
their language skills. By connecting English writing tasks to real-world scenarios
and vocational contexts, students perceive the relevance and applicability of the
language they are learning, which in turn enhances their motivation to actively
engage in the writing activities.
2. Meaningful Content:
The CLIL module offers students the opportunity to explore and work with
content that is meaningful and interesting to them. By integrating relevant
vocational topics, the module creates a purposeful learning environment where
students can see the direct connection between the content they are learning and
their future professional aspirations. This intrinsic motivation stemming from
meaningful content drives students to invest more effort in their writing tasks.
