Module teaching and integrating language skills lesson 1

Interactive and Process Approaches
In teaching writing teachers are sometimes do not feel free to use a certain approach in the classroom. They tend to be uncommunicative and have less interaction with the students during the class. Commonly, there is no particular approach applied for teaching writing. Since teacher usually mostly concerned with the final product (Brown, 2001).
Interactive Approach
Long, 1997 as cited in Brown, 2001 stated that the students communicate to each other either teacher or other students through oral and written discourse. The use of interactive approach can promote active learning, heighten attention and motivation, give feedback to the teacher and the student, and increase satisfaction for both (Steinert & Snell,1999).
From the statement above, it is obviously define that in teaching writing teachers are also possible to be more interactive. On one meeting, the teacher could have a group work. First, the class is divided into several groups. Each of the group should have a chairperson that chosen by the teacher for a certain criteria. Next, the teacher will hand out a paper which contains a topic and an assessment rubric (containing the parts of paragraph). In the end of the session, the chairman will evaluate the paragraph whether it meets the requirements mentioned in the rubric or not. Finally, the chairperson will announce the result and consult the teacher.
