Abstract

This paper aims to explain how to teach writing analytical exposition text by using the buzz group technique. Buzz group technique is a discussion technique which consists three to six members for gathering ideas in a brief time. For implementing this technique, the EFL students will have a small discussion before the larger one to discuss a topic of analytical exposition text. They are asked to gather ideas from some diverse sources and create a new text together. Buzz group technique will be applied in collecting information stage or pre-writing stage. The students will be divided into some small groups to discuss a topic in 15-20 minutes. After that, the group’s members will select a leader, a note taker and a time keeper. However, buzz group technique is very useful to help the teacher in teaching writing. It is also helpful for the students in finding ideas at the beginning of writing activity. Moreover, it makes the students actively participate in the learning process and build a positive interaction among the students. In addition, the students will be more confident to express their points of view through the discussion. Therefore, buzz group technique can be an alternative technique for the English teachers to teach writing analytical exposition text.
