The competency in writing will help much if one wants to contact people around the world through face book, twitter or yahoo messenger. Through writing, one can communicate to and share information with others. For those who want to become members of international business, administrative or academic communities, they have to become proficient writers (Tribble, 1997).

Furthermore, by writing students are assisted to reinforce the grammatical structure, idioms, and vocabularies which have been taught, to have adventure with language, to go beyond what they have learnt to say and to become involved in the new language (Sattayatham and Pongrat, 2008 Writing needs a long process for its complex activity or process that involves a host of advanced skills which include critical thinking and logical development of ideas. In relation to this, Burnaby (1984) states that writing is extremely cognitive activity which needs control of a number of variables simultaneously. When they write, they work intensively with new language at the whole text level, the paragraph level, the sentence level and the word level. At each level, they need tools. Students need good vocabularies for precise word choices which are critical to make writing explicit. 

Additionally, they need knowledge of grammatical structure and punctuation to make their writings intelligible to readers. These facts sometimes writing get less attention than other language skills such as listening, speaking and reading. Recently the awareness of the importance of writing increases because of the necessities and complexities of the writing itself. This fact drives writing to get more attention in English language teaching in Indonesian context.
