A.    Background

In learning English, there are four skills we must study. They are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The four skills mentioned are diveded into receptive and productive skills. Speaking and writing are productive skills, while listening and reading are receptive skills. Beside the four language skills above, Writing should be taught by the teacher to the students optimally because with this skill students can produce a written information or text such as monologue and essay in the forms of procedure, descriptive, recount, narrative, report, news item, exposition, explanation, discussion, and review. In addition, those four skills have to be supported by language components such as grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.

Writing is usually thought to be the most difficult skill to acquire and should only be taught after students have learned the other  skill. But here, students are expected to be able to write well.

Blog is a website that allows an author to publish  instanly on the internet from any internet connection. Blog can be used by teacher as a formative assessment tool.
