Jurnal Penelitian | JURNAL BAHASA INGGRIS The Effect of R.A.F.T Strategy and Anxiety upon Writing Competency of The Seventh Grade Students of SMP Negeri 3 Mengwi in Academic Year 2013/2014 | English is one of the main languages of international communication. In Indonesia, English as a foreign language is taught as compulsory subject started from elementary until university. The students should master English competence if they do not want to fail in the final exam. In the field of language teaching, it is stated that teaching English focuses on the mastery of four language skills, namely: listening, speaking, reading and writing (Depdiknas, 2006).
In relation with the competence above, writing as one of the four major skills needs to be taught. Among those four skills that are learned by the students,writing is one of language skills which have to be acquired by the students. Clanchy and Ballard (1987: 1) define writing as a process of transferring thoughts into written words and connecting those thoughts systematically one upon another in a coherent manner. To support the concept of writing, Massi (2001: 1) defines writing as a transmission process of ideas from an addresser to an addressee via a text. In line with the concept above, Phelps (2001: 2) explains writing as an activity that engages writers more actively in processing, interpreting, and evaluating information and putting it in a logical, coherent, and well-responded arrangement.
According to Raimes (1983), teaching writing is important because of three reasons. The first is that writing reinforces the grammatical structure, idiom, and vocabulary that teacher has been working within the class. The second reason is when the student writes. They have a chance to be adventurous with the language.
