This research is aimed to highlight set of difficulties encountered by students that are assigned to develop ideas whilst writing argumentative essay. This research was conducted at Pakuan University and involved 23 students as participant of this study. Qualitative method and descriptive analysis are applied in conducting this research. To gain the research data, three research instruments were used, they are: documentation, questionnaire and interview. Documentation instrument was used to analyze students’ work of argumentative essay. The questionnaire was administered to all participants and the interview was conducted once for each student. This study reveals that the students still have some difficulties in constructing thesis statement, organizing paragraph, making writing coherent and combining ideas in correct sentences. Finally, the result of this research may urge the students to improve their writing skills and provide the teachers to explore more on teaching writing practices.","PeriodicalId":368398,"journal":{"name":"Journal of English Teaching and Linguistics Studies (JET Li)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129584479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most important language in the world is English. English has become the most used language of communication. Teacher as the facilitator need to support the learning environment in the classroom effectively. It has created the dire need to explore new teaching methodology that can increase learners’ command of foreign language. Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is a method that is used to develop the proficiency both target language and content, it can help students to be mastering their foreign language and content from other subjects beside English. This research is aimed to investigate teachers’ way for communication with students in CLIL classes. This research was conducted at SMP-SMA Cahaya Rancamaya Islamic Boarding School. There were 2 participants involved in this research, which were Physics and Biology teachers who used CLIL as the teaching and learning method. The writer used qualitative method and descriptive analysis in conducting this research. To gain the research data, she used three research instruments: documentation, interview and interview. Documentation instrument was used to analyze teachers’ CLIL lesson plans. Two interviews also conducted to confirm and avoid misunderstanding. Both interviews were conducted online because of the Covid-19 situation. This study reveals that teachers’ way for communication with students in CLIL classes happened in the three stages of classroom activities which are in pre-activity, while activity and post-activity. The communication aspect in the CLIL classroom used English as the medium in the interaction.
