It examines the kind of tasks that can be applied to scaffold students' writing ability and its effectiveness in scaffolding students' writing ability. Classroom action research was used in conducting the research in which qualitative data was obtained through observation, interview and documentation. The site of the study was in one of Junior High Schools in Bogor in which class 8 grade was selected.
