Writing is the one of English skill besides reading, listening, and grammar. Each skill has the specific objectivity and different way to teach. But finally some researcher noticed that reading and writing was integrally related. Both skills have the same cognitive and social processes. And both skills are very important to understand text. Students are supposed to use their schemata about form and content of the text. Both skills are difficult to understand. Both skills contain many chapters to be understood by the student. So the student must understand language feature or grammar such as tenses, subject verb agreement, and punctuation and so on. In vice versa, speaking just focus on fluency mean the student are supposed to practice more on speaking. So that’s why students usually read and write the passage more than once because both skills like recursive processes.

Raimes (1991) clarify the changes of second language writing focus since 1960 until 1980 and its impact on today’s writing instruction. In early 1960s, writing was assumed as a means of reinforcing speech patterns. So the objective of the writing learning is about accuracy such as grammar, spelling, punctuation, certain pattern of written text. Then in the early 1970s, writing was viewed as a process of constructing personal meaning. In this case, learning tends to be student-centered. The teacher task is encouraging the student to brainstorm their ideas to get the objectivity. And the early 1980s, the objectivity of writing just focuses on the content of the text such as the pattern of written text. And final 1980s, the writing was viewed as a text understood by the reader. That means the students are supposed to write the text based on what the reader is. For example, the people who read your writing are teacher and students so you must write the writing must deal with IPA and to be formal writing.

As the future teacher, we have to be aware toward the development of second language writing instruction. We have to develop our ideas on teaching method and utilizing technology to get the effective teaching. Some of technology to facilitate writing teaching include online dictionaries, and other.
