“…Secondary and tertiary institutions throughout ASEAN countries have adopted summary writing as a measurement to assess the ability of students in comprehending texts in the English language. Although a substantial number of studies have investigated summary writing, only a handful have initiated innovative techniques that have led to summary writing enhancement (Abdi, Idris, Alguliyev, & Aliguliyev, 2016;Cho, 2012;Friend, 2001;Idris, Baba, & Abdullah, 2011;Ke & Hoey, 2014;Marzec-Stawiarska, 2016;McDonough, Crawford, & De Vleeschauwer, 2014;Sung, Liao, Chang, Chen, & Chang, 2016;Wichadee, 2014;Yang, 2015).
