Teachers have difficulty in increasing students&quot; motivation in writing and making them positively get involved in classroom activities. Students tend to have low motivation and little experience in English writing. Students have positive perceptions of the suggested writing lessons through English newspaper and small group activities. Students can get useful writing materials that are interesting and related to their experience from English newspaper.
