This research offers carousel brainstorming technique as a way in teaching writing. Carousel Brainstorm is a technique to activate prior knowledge or reviewing newly acquired information, this organizer allows them to identify and study subtopics within a larger topic (Mc Knight, 2010:10). The objective of this research was to find out the effectiveness of using carousel brainstorming paired with mind mapping technique in teaching writing viewed from students’ self-actualization. The research was conducted for second semester students of English Department IKIP PGRI Madiun in the academic year of 2013/2014. This research method was an experimental study. The researcher used cluster random sampling to get the sample. The instruments of collecting data are writing test and questionnaire. The data were analyzed by using multifactor analysis of variance 2x2. Then, it was analyzed by using Tukey test. The research findings show that: (1) Carousel braintorm technique is more effective than mind mapping technique; (2) The students having high selfactualization have better writing skill than those having low self-actualization; and (3) There is an interaction between teaching techniques and students’ self-actualization in teaching writing. Therefore, using carousel brainstorming technique is recommended and effective to build students’ enthusiasm in learning English, particularly to enhance their writing ability.
