Teaching EFL writing today is not the same as teaching EFLwriting in the previous decades. Students today were/are born in the era of digitalisation, where everything, including societies and communities, is going digital. The conventional “I lecture, you listen” teaching method is not quite appropriate to use. What students need is to learn instantly, practically, and applicably. This paper proposes a non-conventional teaching method in EFL writing that is suitable for today’s students. By using video games, one media students have been familiar with, teachers can encourage students to improve their writing abilities. This media can be used both in and out of classroom. Teaching writing using this media can also help students enhance their 21st century skills so that they are able to compete in both the 21st century and the upcoming Asean Economic Community (AEC). This paper is beneficial for EFL teachers, especially new EFL teachers who dislike the out-of-date teaching methods, to make the class more exciting and challenging.
