Abstract


Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) has obvious impacts on teaching writing. However, many language teachers are doubtful to use SFL instruction in their classroom. In this research, I studied the implementation of SFL in English writing class. I taught Indonesian university students and observed the teaching process. In teaching writing, I combined the SFL with Genre Based Approach (GBA) and Collaborative Learning (CL). From the observation, I offered three considerations for preparing a writing class with SFL instruction.
