The document discusses a study that aims to improve 10th grade students' writing skills at a vocational high school using the STAD (Students Teams Achievement Divisions) cooperative learning strategy. It identifies issues with current writing instruction such as lack of vocabulary, weak motivation, and grammatical errors. The study will implement STAD to address these issues by promoting collaboration and self-regulated learning. The researcher expects STAD will increase writing ability, knowledge, and the quality of English education. The scope is limited to using STAD to teach writing skills only.
