In collecting data, there are two kinds of instrumentation tests; structure knowledge and writing performance tests. While analyzing the data, the researcher used Pearson Product Moment correlation statistical analysis. The finding of the study reveals that there is a positive correlation between the students’ structure knowledge and their writing performance. It is obviously proven that the coefficient correlation is 0.84, which is categorized as high correlation. After testing the hypothesis, the researcher could determine that there is a significant correlation between two variables, since the critical value of rxy is greater than the critical value of rtable in significant level 5%; (rxy = 0.84 > rtable = 0.227). It emphasizes that null hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted. It infers that who want to have better writing performance should learn structure.

The literatures showed that the important of assessment has brought so significance works and studies. Currently, the teacher’s conception and belief to conduct assessment being questioned because of its nature, the cheating habit among students while assessing summative kind of test becomes the roots of all the problems occurred during the classroom test.

Dispute summative can someway use feedback for formative purpose, it seems the roles of the teachers would take so little function for students’ improvement. It is then suggested for EFL teachers, they should immense formative procedures over summative to enhance the learning target which has been previously shared with students. Eventually, if it is successfully offered and applied massively by teachers, the earlier problems found such as cheating, lower students’ grade, would be diminished, and positively change the learning behavior. In addition, will not possible to transform teachers’ conception and practice from being an “assessment of learning” into assessment for learning”. The formative teachers will always examine their students based on the dynamic situation of their students, they viewed every dynamic problem found during classroom teaching and learning could be as feedback for teaching improvement and re-designed their teaching method in the classroom.
