“…Richards and Renandya (2002) asserted that the teachers need to think about how to make all the learners involved and share their ideas during the learning process.

This study investigated whether students" writing achievements could increase using a modified roundtable technique based on the process approach and to find out what aspects of writing significantly increase. A quantitative study in the form of preexperimental design was conducted which involved 21 tenth grade students of a 1 Pekalongan-Lampung province senior high school 1 in Indonesia. The overall obtained pre-and post-test writing data were compared through the Paired sample ttest both in the overall sample and for each specific aspect. The results demonstrated that there was a significant increase in the students" writing achievements. The significant increases were found in all writing aspects, except mechanics. This modified roundtable technique makes learning situations enjoyable and allows the students to use the target language and share their ideas in every step of writing (pre-writing, drafting, revising and editing). By following these steps, the students gradually have knowledge of how to write a good paragraph by considering aspects of writing (content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics). Contribution/Originality:This study contributes to the existing literature of roundtable technique in teaching English writing to foreign language learners. In this study, the roundtable is modified based on the process approach where the students share ideas at every stage of writing (pre-writing, drafting, revising, and editing). Brown (2001) stated that in school, writing is like the way of life because it has an important function. It is needed for passing the course and mastering the subject matter. However, writing is still considered a difficult skill to be mastered. Kellogg (2008); Puengpipattrakul (2009); Javed et al. (2013) and Ruiz-Funes (2015) declared that writing is generally considered a complex skill for students. Kellogg (2008) stated that learning how to write a coherent, effective text is a difficult and protracted achievement of cognitive development that contrasts sharply with the acquisition of speech and advanced writing skills require systematic training as well as instruction so that executive attention can successfully coordinate multiple writing processes and representations, while fluency is associated with the language proficiency level that has a lot to do with L2/FL writing according to Ruiz-Funes (2015). Being someone with good comprehension requires the perception that he is the one who is successful in writing (Keskin, 2015). INTRODUCTION
