From teachers point of view, writing is regarded as difficult to be taught because, they know almost all students having lack vocabulary of English, they think that students are not really interested in writing, they also think that their teaching writing strategy may be not useful to help students enhancing their writing skill. 

There is a statement which stated that writing is a difficult is according to Marhaeni, 2010, she stated that writing is often considered as the most difficult language skill to be learnt since its complexity makes it becomes difficult. Not only in the matter of linguistic ability, writing also involves various cognitive and creative process. In cognitive process of writing, writing is viewed as a process of transactional between writer schemes which consist of variety of information. In creative process of writing, the writing process is characterized by the insight of unique new ideas which is logically and uniquely arranged in writing. 

According to the assumption that writing is not an easy activity, Bossone and Ashe (1981) report that beginner students tend to learn grammar before studying the other aspects of writing. This assumption indicates that those students focus on grammar only without realizing the important role of other writing aspects that are needed to develop an effective writing. It is also found that beginner students are unable to elaborate various ideas that are raised in their writing. They are struggling to develop a coherent writing. Another study identifies that students also face difficulty in mechanics (Olshtain, 2001). Another study conducted by Oscarson (2009) showed that the specific writing skills that students at upper secondary school focused on in their writing are spelling and grammar, rather than other skills such as sentence structure, vocabulary, paragraphing and punctuation skills. Those findings indicate that EFL students often face difficulty in learning particular writing aspects.
