Not many language teachers use literary works as teaching materials to teach language skills for their students. This is due to teachersâ common perception that literature has a high degree of difficulty to understand. As a result, the use of literary works is often ignored to teach language skills, especially writing. Basically, if teachers are able to select literary works in accordance with the purpose of teaching and use it well, literature can be a bridge to improve language skills, especially the skills of writing an expository text. This article aims to describe the stages of teaching to teach writing skills through mini-fiction for expository essay, tips on choosing fictions that can be used in the classroom, and the problems that may arise from the use of these mini fictions. There are three stages of learning to be conducted when teaching writing skills by using mini fictions, namely the preparatory stage, pre-writing, and writing phases. Using literary works will be able to sharpen the students language skills and their ability to think critically.

Di dalam masyarakat kita, literasi masih belum menjadi budaya yang diminati. Peningkatan budaya literasi dapat dimulai dari sekolah melalui buku-buku perpustakaan. Untuk mendukung budaya literasi ini, maka sekolah harus memiliki sarana dan prasarana yang memadai, terutama dalam hal pengadaan buku perpustakaan. Permasalahan yang ada di perpustakaan MTs Assalam yang ada selama ini adalah koleksi buku yang minim dan buku yang ada tidak menarik untuk dibaca karena sebagian besar adalah buku teks. Selain itu, kondisi perpustakaan tidak dirawat dengan baik sehingga tidak menarik siswa untuk meminjamnya. Kegiatan Pengabdian Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk menumbuhkan budaya literasi siswa MTs Assalam memalui peremajaan perpustakaan dan membenahi sistem administrasi dan sirkulasi buku. Selama pengabdian, tim menggalang donasi buku dan mencari sponsor untuk membeli buku baru di toko-toko buku berdiskon. Usaha ini membuahkan hasil dengan terkumpulnya 289 buku untuk peremajaan buku di MTs Assalam. Selama seminggu pembukaan perdana peremajaan buku perpustakaan di MTs Assalam, jumlah kunjungan siswa ke perpustakaan menunjukkan peningkatan yang baik bila dibandingkan sebelum sebelumnya. Buku yang dipinjam siswa tidak hanya dibawa pulang untuk dibaca, namun juga dibaca disekitar sekolah. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengabdian masyarakat di MTs Assalam dalam hal peremajaan buku mampu menumbuhkan budaya literasi siswa terutama dalam hal menumbuhkan kegemaran membaca.Â

Assessing writing is a demanding task. If a lecturer of writing is not prepared with a reliable scoring rubric, the students’ real performance might not be known. One of the well-known English as a second language (ESL) writing rubric is the Jacobs ESL Composition Profile which was developed by Jacobs, Zingraf, Wormuth, Hartfiel, & Hughey in 1981, known as Jacobs ESL Composition Profile. This scoring rubric is popular among writing teachers and researchers to score students’ composition. The present study is intended to 1) find out the internal consistency between raters who use the scoring rubric to assess the students’ essay, and 2) describe the level of the students’ writing performance when assessed by using Jacobs ESL scoring rubric, and 3) describe the raters’ opinion when using the profile. The study uses descriptive quantitative design. The instruments to collect the data are documentation and interview. The data were collected in three months, from February to April 2020. The subjects of the study were two writing lecturers who taught English as a foreign language (EFL) and became raters for a research grant. The raters were asked to score 37 essays of the fourth-semester students.  The result of the study shows that there is internal consistency between rater 1 and rater 2 when scoring the students’ essay by using Jacobs ESL Composition Profile is high (r. = 0.674, α = 0.00 < 0.05). The Cronbach alpha analysis also shows 0.722 which indicates a strong and high level of consistency. The students’ writing performance fall in the average – good (moderate) level (49%), very good (high) level (40%), and only five students (11%) fall in the below-average – poor (low) level category.

The use of authentic materials for language teaching is common. Yet, there is not much information about what type of instructional materials benefits learners. The purpose of the study is to find empirical evidence of whether non–fiction authentic materials are more superior that fiction authentic material. The researchers used an experimental design to answer the research question. The population of the study was all students who took an essay writing course at University PGRI Wiranegara in the academic year 2019-2020. The sample was taken by using a systematic random sampling method which results in two equal numbers of students in two experimental groups. Group A was taught with non-fiction authentic material, while group B was taught with the fiction authentic material. The researchers used ANOVA to analyze the data in SPSS 22. The process of teaching and learning followed the writing as a process approach and was done in a blended-learning setting because of the pandemic of COVID 19. The result shows that there is no significant interaction between content type and proficiency level (F(2,30) = 1.347, p = .275). The main effect of content type on writing performance was not significant (F(1,30)=.001, p .973), but the main effect of proficiency level on writing performance is significant such that the students who have a higher level of writing proficiency have better performance than the students who have a lower level of writing proficiency  (F (2,30) = 5.653, p .008). The researchers conclude that both types of authentic materials are equally effective to improve the students’ essay writing performance.
