INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Study

   Generally, the purpose of teaching English language at school is to develop the students„ language skills. Teaching English in Indonesia concerns with communicative based acquisition. It contains four basic skills that are usually taught in an integrated way. The basic skills are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Writing is the skill that involves communicating a message by making sign on page.

   Burhan Nurgiyantoro, (2001) states in terms of language skills, writing is the ability to speak the final master. The ability to write is more difficult to control, even by native speakers of the language concern though. This is due to the ability to write which requires mastery of various linguistic elements and elements outside the language itself.Writing is one of the most significant cultural accomplishments of human being. It allows us to record and convey information and stories beyond the immediate moment.Writing is not only just talking about the post, but also the process of writing that would make a lot of writing that makes people interested.

    As one of the language skill, writing cannot be ignored from its role to improve students‟ knowledge. Writing skill needs to be mastered by the learners, because learning how to write in English is important. In last few years, the schools have been emphasizing the importance of knowing how to write. In many countries, education systems emphasize writing for taking tests. Almost students, the only reason to practice writing is to pass examinations or to get a good grade in the class. This is not likely to make students interested in writing.

    In English classes, students frequently complain that finding something to write about is more difficult than writing. They do not have any idea of what to write. The students also can not choose the right words, and they do not know how to start their writing. One factor causes the problem is the strategy applied by the English teachers. They do not have sufficient and suitable teaching techniques, and also lack of appropriate materials in their classes. Besides, many teachers still use the traditional teacher-centered method in writing classes, which makes classes boring and ineffective.

    To solve the problem, English teachers would do well to provide students with as many acceptable suggestions as they can. Teachers also must find an effective strategy in teaching writing skill, especially in teaching writing descriptive text– and SWELL (Social-Interactive Writing for English Language Learners) is the answer.
