Writing is a skill that must be acquired by the learners as one of the proficiency in English. In order to be proficiency in writing, it involves all skills and other elements of English such as; reading, grammar proficiency, etc. It requires all types of learners in the world to be proficiency in that skill.
Along with there are three types of English learners in the world which we know as First Language, Second Language and Foreign Language learner acquire the language in diversity of teaching learning process. It also happens in multilingual learning process of English. Due to the diversity of English learning, it leads different complexity of problems in learning English. As noticed by Singleton (1995), there are, in every society, unstated assumptions about people how and they learn which act as a set of self-fulfilling prophecies that invisibly guide whatever educational processes may occur there. They act as a kind of unintentional hidden curriculum, or what an anthropologist might call a cultural theory of learning.
In the classroom there are many learners that have different ways of learning. Like in ear learners and eye learners classroom, the teachers are demanded to teach English as interestingly as possible to learners. A creative teacher will find a way to create a positive learning atmoshpere in order that the learners are not bored to listen to the teachers explanation. It is clear that one of the problems faced by the teacher in teaching is how to motivate learners through an effective way. One of the ways to motivate learners in learning is teaching through audiovisual. Audiovisual will make them
