Abstract

Grammar is important part of learning English. According to Hirai (2010), grammar is a way to organize the sentence and create a good language. Grammar is bounded to other language skill like listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Good writing requires good working knowledge of grammar, and also the art of using rhetoric of arranging words, phrases, sentences and paragraphs as the way to get readers attention. (Muh. Arief Muhsin: 2018, p. 8). On the other side, in the writing process, students senior high school often find it hard even to write in their native language. The students cannot write well if they do not have good grammar competence. The students’ difficulties in writing English can be influenced by lack of many vocabularies, and grammar, lack of written exercises and ideas. It is supported by Sulasti (2003), the problems that they mostly face are about how to write, what to be written, and lack of vocabulary words as well as incompetence in structure. This phenomenon was found when the researcher had teaching training at one of senior high schools in Jember. Hence, does grammar mastery really play an important role on writing skill?
