CONCLUSION

This paper looked at the effects of using guided writing to improve the writing ability in
English of the Grade 8 BEC students. This shows that the respondents' ability or skills in English
writing is below the average point that is set by the learners. However, after the intervention and
application of guided writing, the respondent’s scores have greatly increased and yielded good
results or positive consequences. The findings certainly shows that the involvement of guiding
the students in writing English is a prerequisite, it is a tool and a way that helps the students’
competence in writing in the English language while also learning new vocabularies and
improving their grammar.

The students struggle with a variety of issues when it comes to composing a paragraph.
This study used a pre-test to demonstrate how the students performed, and a post-test to
demonstrate how their performance had improved. It thoroughly demonstrated the effectiveness
of using guided writing and intervention to enhance students' writing proficiency of the grade 8
respondents. The students' writing, including their punctuation, grammar, and use of coherent
techniques developed because of this intervention and guided writing. Furthermore, learners do
need to improve this skill as it will help them in much demanding challenges that is yet to come.
And improving this ability in writing, both the learner and the teacher should help each other to
successfully help and develop the skills in writing in the English language.
