It also attempts to identify type of scaffolding activity that students mostly preferred in everyday classroom of English for Science and Technology (EST) lessons and to examine its relevance in helping students to be independent writers. Form 4 EST students of SMK Tebakang are involved in this study. This study has implemented two instruments; a set of self-constructed questionnaires adapted from MacKenzie (1999) and semi-structured interviews. About 155 questionnaires are distributed to the respondents and only 152 are returned. Only 20 respondents are selected for the semi-structured interviews. Based on the findings of the study, the respondents believe that EST teachers should scaffold on language area when teaching writing because they claimed that if they are not proficient in English Language, they fail to understand the content knowledge and later have difficulty to convey ideas and justify opinions in writing form. 2009-04 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/75980/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/75980/1/75980.pdf text en public masters Universiti Teknologi MARA Cawangan Sarawak Faculty of Education
