However, some studies found that Indonesian students are capable of writing by using English pattern when they are taught in a writing course.

It is a qualitative content analysis study on 40 argumentative essays, written by 20 students of State University of Surabaya, which were analyzed. The results of this study show that the rhetorical developments of students' essays become less linear after two years. This means that their study in an English writing course has successfully teach them to write following the English logic. Yet, these students cannot maintain their linear pattern over time.

Writing skill is an important skill because in writing, the students can express their ideas through a composition, and they also need to read a lot in order to be able to produce such a good composition. There are several kinds of composition such as: narrative, descriptive, explanation, and also argumentative composition. In this study, the writer chose the argumentative composition because argument happens every day (White and Billings, 2005: 4). To create a good argumentative composition, a well-organized pattern is needed.

This study presents the Filipino ESL senior high school students’ strengths and weaknesses in writing an argumentative essay. In the context of an institution in the Philippines where English is used as a second language by learners with varied L1, and the learners are required to write in academic English, the aim of this study is to identify the language features and the rhetorical moves of the argumentative essays using Hyland’s model (1990). Analyzing the students’ essays as a requirement in the academe across disciplines could provide appropriate scaffolding in guiding the Filipino ESL writers. The original essays written within an hour by 51 (from 108) Filipino ESL senior high school writers were encoded and processed using the Antconc software to identify the language features that characterize the essays. The essays were coded by the researcher and an inter-coder verified the analysis in relation to the stages/parts and the rhetorical moves found in the essays. The top three most commonly used verbs in the argumentative essays of the Filipino ESL writers of English are non-action verbs – is, are, have. In writing argumentative essays, the Filipino ESL senior high school writers of English lack lexical verbs in the lexical level, and the thesis and conclusion parts in the discourse level. They were familiar with the argument part, but lack citation as support to their claims.
