final text was conducted in groups. In groups, students present their final writing
dealing with the topics discussed to be responded by the other group. The other

groups commented the presentation dealing with the linguistic features of texts
and cultural aspects of the texts. In the classes, students discussed not only

linguistic features but also cultural dimensions reflected in the presented texts. To

help students in presenting the writing, lecturer provided various topics, exercises,
tasks, and questions to promote students‘ writing skills.

As a presenter in writing classes, lecturers indicated that students
improved their writing skills through presenting their final writing in front of the

class. This process created effective learning circumstances to discuss not only
about linguistic features but also intercultural dimensions in the class. Based on

the result of interview, lecturers agreed that students have to play a role as

presenter for their final writing in front of the class. L3 stated that ―…mahasiswa

in implementing the IBLL model.

The four students‘ roles were validated by two observers in the class. The
observers assessed the students‘ role when they followed the writing classes. The

process of assessment was conducted in each meeting. The meeting consists of six
meetings. The observers used observation sheet to know students‘ activities

during attending the writing classes. The result of observers‘ assessment of

students‘ activities in writing class can be seen in Table 19 as follows.
