teacher implemented the CLT in his teaching and learning process. Besides, he also wrote 
some materials and explanation about the lesson on the board and even provided the students 
with handouts, instead of just explained the lesson orally. This was actually a good example 
of applying multiple intelligence techniques in the process of teaching and learning English as 
a second language, especially in the ESL writing class.
The teacher used different strategies in this class, and they were obviously from the 
activities they did in the classroom. First, the teacher had the students to analyze their own 
essay writing, and correct the mistakes or errors they made. He gave chances to the student to 
ask him or even think critically about their writing. Second, he asked the student to work in 
peers and collaborate with other students, which give students opportunity to assess and 
think critically about their friend’s essay writing. Then he also asked the students to discuss 
about the review they have made for their friend, even though only for a short time, but I 
think because that was not the focus of the lesson, so it was fine.
Concerning to the students’ collaboration, I believe that the teacher tried to collaborate 
the students, but the students themselves have little attention to the lesson they have, and 
therefore when they are asked to work with their classmates, some of them did another 
things, instead of really did the task their teacher gave. However, many of students really did 
the task from the teacher. I noticed that they questioned their friends, even asking their 
teacher about the problems they had and their friend had in their writing. They also wrote 
down their assessment toward their friend’s essay in the peer assessment form the teacher 
gave to them. This was an indication, that the collaboration of the students in that class was 
good and run well. 
Next, about the teacher-students interaction, from the observation, I noticed that the 
interaction between them was very good. Teacher was not really strict in the class, and he did
