This study aimed to apply Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) theory and logical model to design, implement, and evaluate SRSD program (SRSDP) in order to learn the impacts of SRSDP on junior high school students" self-regulated learning strategy of writing, writing performance, and learning motivation of writing. The participants consisted of 31 seventh graders. The SRSDP had been implemented for 12 weeks. During the research period, the data were collected through teaching journals, worksheets, teacher"s observation records, focus group interview, and scales of writing learning motivation, writing self-regulated strategy, and writing performance. This study only reported the findings of quantitative results. Quantitative data analysis included descriptive analysis and t-test. The findings of this study confirmed SRSDP had positive influences on students" writing learning including enhancing students" self-regulated learning strategy of writing, writing performance, and learning motivation of writing. Based on the findings, the conclusion and discussion were also made in this study. …………………………………………………………………………………………………….... Introduction:-Writing has been one of focus for Language Art education because the process of writing can cultivate students" various capabilities, including integration, expression, logic, organization, reflection, critical thinking, social cognitions, and appreciation. These capabilities not only contribute to personal daily life and academic performance, but also benefit the development of their careers in the future (Fitzgerald, 2013;). However, due to the complexity and difficulty of writing, many junior high students have negative feelings toward writing, even regard it as boring and stressful. Several studies conducted in Taiwan setting revealed that writing skills ought to be improved in secondary school level (Gao, 2006;Xu & Yang, 2010;Yang, 2006) such as purposive sampling, structure, organization, spelling, formatting, and punctuation. Many factors might contribute to the poor writing. One of them might be students themselves. According to Harris, Graham, and Adkins (2015), skilled writing is complex, requiring extensive self-regulation of a flexible, goal-directed, problem-solving activity. Knowledge about writing (including genre knowledge) and strategies for planning and text production are also critical . If students lack background knowledge about writing, interest, meta-cognition, and motivation, it is impossible to have good writing performance; another factor could come from teachers" teaching. If a teacher cannot apply the appropriate teaching model and strategies for writing, it might be impossible to deliver his/her teaching Corresponding Author:-Su-ching lin.
