| Summary: | <p>This qualitative case study is sought to gain deeper understanding on the impact of</p><p>sociocultural elements utilised by students in scaffolding their ESL writing in the</p><p>Malaysian context. The study was carried out for two months in an upper secondary</p><p>school in Kuala Selangor town catering for large English as Second Language (ESL)</p><p>population. The participants of this study included three MUET teachers and six</p><p>Malaysian Upper Six MUET students comprising three females and three males from</p><p>the three main ethnicities in Malaysia. The researcher documented data through three</p><p>sources: classroom observation of MUET students, interviews with MUET students and</p><p>teachers, and finally by analysing their written protocols which is in the form of weekly</p><p>written reflections. Findings indicated that the utilisation of sociocultural elements in</p><p>their extended writing sessions not only improved the students written protocols but</p><p>also gave them the confidence to write extensively with fewer errors. The study also</p><p>implicated that sociocultural elements should be utilised by all the ESL teachers to</p><p>enhance extended writing among the Malaysian ESL students.</p> |
