Furthermore, the researcher also identified that majority of form 1 students in school scored poorly in organization because they do not organize their points systematically and logically in their writing. The form 1 students frequently do not convey their points explicitly but rather implicitly because they do not arrange their ideas coherently as in introduction, content and conclusion but end up writing as one whole or simply write without paragraphs, abrupt ending or hanging essay. As Sarala (2015) also supported that , in Malaysian classrooms ,most of the form 1 students essays were unorganized in terms of content and lacks coherence.
Lastly,during writing lessons and examinations, the form 1 students in the classroom hardly made an effort to plan or build a skeleton or framework to organize their points before writing which results to poor organization scores. Due to this habit, the form 1 students consistently ended up missing or jumbling up their points and made sure that teachers are unable to guess or understand what they tried to write. In certain situations during writing, they do sometimes cant move from one point to another as they cant see the relationships between a point and an evidence or example resulting to an extremely poor coherence in their essay. As Vishalache (2010) in her research also claimed that most form 1 students lacked the habit and efficacy to plan and to organize their essays with organizers resulting to lack of organization in their writing.
Hence due to this problem of students are unable to organize their points in their writing, I opt to teach them Linking words, I love the linking word chart and I would love to share it with teachers.
