Journal of English Teaching, v10 n3 p255-265 2024
As one of the productive skills, writing is highly required to be mastered in English as a foreign language. Moreover, communication can occur not only in spoken form but also in written form. In creating a good learning atmosphere for the students, teachers try to use the most appropriate approach to achieve the learning goals, especially in mastering the writing skill. The constructivism approach is commonly used by teachers to enhance it. The implement of constructivism in teaching writing emphasizes students' activities in building knowledge, interacting with others, constructing ideas, presenting critical thinking, and collaboration. Those elements from constructivism are also integrated into the teaching method that has been implemented by the teachers. However, teaching writing to primary students is challenging in many contexts. Therefore, this literature article review presents a closer look at the constructivism views for teaching primary students' English writing. The implication of this article is that it is hoped to be used as the supplementary information for primary teachers and other researchers on similar topic in teaching writing using constructivism approach.
