Abstract

This study aims to expose and explore the implementation of collaborative writing in a non-English department in a state university in Surakarta, Indonesia. The method used in this study was descriptive qualitative focusing on the procedures of collaborative writing. The participants of the study were 63 students who were then divided into 16 groups for their collaborative project. In collecting the data, the researcher conducted document analysis, observations, and interview with both the lecturer and students. Three students were selected purposively for interview. The findings of this study were specific procedures of collaborative writing for non-English major students and different types of collaborative writing strategy applied by students. The procedures of collaborative writing for non-English major students comprised forming group, determining topic, outlining, drafting, editing and revising, and submitting. Meanwhile, the strategies applied by students in collaborative writing were reactive writing and parallel writing. In the implementation of collaborative writing, students also faced some difficulties. Those are in terms of cooperation between group members, irresponsible group members, and active learning. In implementing collaborative writing especially for non-English major students, it is better for teachers to consider the language proficiency of the students. In addition, teachers’ guidance is very important in the process of collaborative writing for non-English major students.

The method of this study is qualitative while the design of this study is case study. The data collecting techniques were observation, interview, and document analysis. The results showed that collaborative writing gives opportunity for EFL students to experience the better writing process where students can share and discuss in exploring ideas, developing ideas, expressing ideas, and evaluating the writing product. In terms of their self-esteem, students with low self-esteem were discouraged and tended to depend their writing work on the higher level students. In contrast, students with high self-esteem were encouraged in writing when they were responsible to lead their friends during writing process.
