Abstract
The English language has become a compulsory subject for high school students in Indonesia, and one of the most essential skills that students are required to acquire is writing. Nevertheless, it has been noted in previous research that students continue to encounter challenges when it comes to performing a task of writing. This study aims to investigate how contextual teaching and learning approach facilitates students’ improvement in their writing skill. The study involves 35 eleventh grade students in one public high school located in Kabupaten Bogor, West Java province, Indonesia. The study employed a qualitative research design, utilizing a learning journal as the primary instrument for data collection. The data was analyzed by content analysis based on the four characteristics of contextual teaching and learning approach as outlined by Johnson (2002). These characteristics include doing significant work, fostering self-regulated learning, promoting collaboration, and facilitating the development of critical thinking skills. The findings of the study indicate that the contextual teaching and learning approach contributes to the enhancement of writing skills among high school students through four distinct ways. The components encompassed includes: 1) the creation of meaningful task, 2) the obtainment of information independently, 3) collaboration within a group setting, and 4) the practice of asking questions. All in all, it is recommended that the implementation of contextual teaching and learning be considered as a viable alternative approach for writing within the senior high school context.
