Three teachers (two females and one male) aged between 34-37 years old participated in this study. They were recruited because they have 3-9 years of experience in teaching writing. It is believed that the teachers have ample experiences and can select the appropriate teaching strategies for the students. One of the criteria to select the teachers in this study is that they have taught at least two writing courses at the time of the study commencement. To ensure anonymity, the participants' names were kept confidential with T1, T2, and T3.
