Topik: peer tutoring; writing skill Fulltext: hal 1.pdf (9.39MB) Isi artikel Myriad of studies have shown that writing is a very crucial part of language skill. To overcome this problem I try to implement peer tutoring technique to teach writing for the students who take writing I. Peer tutoring is the development of peer learning, but in this occasion the tutor comes from the students in the different level of education. The tutors are not the professional teachers; they are chosen based on some qualifications especially their results of academics scores and their ability in English writing. Besides,there are some characteristics of peer tutoring as explained by Topping (1996). They arecross-year small-group tutoring, the personalized system of instruction, supplemental instruction, same-year dyadic fixed-role tutoring, same-year dyadic reciprocal peer tutoring, dyadic cross-year fixed-role peer tutoring, same-year group tutoring, peer assisted writing, and peer assisted distance learning (Topping, 1996). Furthermore, this small research isconducted for the second semester students of English Education DepartmentKanjuruhan University. It is hoped that by applying peer tutoring in the teaching writing, students may develop strategies for collecting, synthesizing, and interpreting new information from their tutors and teachers as this promote students’ autonomy in improving their writing skill as one of the significant principles to meet international standards of language learning.
