The purpose of this paper is the suggest teaching model for developing academic writing proficiency of university students. The educational objectives of university writing are not only to increase expression abilities and thinking skills but also to develop academic writing skills. In this paper academic writing includes report, research paper and dissertation for academic activity in university.
I proposed curriculum based on lecture and presentation for improving academic writing ability of university students. The contents of the writing lecture is based on the writing process, i.e. selecting subject, collecting data, structuring, writing and revising. Attendance at this lecture give a presentation on their paper, and then take questions from the students. In the process, the students can improve their reading and presentation skills, as well as their writing ability.
