Abstract
This study investigated the efficacy of Free Quick Writing for encouraging remedial students who are weak in English writing. As students forget many words and grammatical rules which they have learned at junior high and high school, they lose interest in studying English as well as having difficulty writing essays in English. The aim of this study was not to make students write complete sentences, but to have students write as many words as possible in order to encourage them to recall many words and grammatical rules. The result of this study suggests our new approach for writing activity. Although "Free Quick Writing" is recommendable for its effect on the writing of some students, it does not seem to bring enough development to all students' writing. Therefore, several problems which should be tackled in future have remained.
