Abstract
Writing has long been regarded as the most daunting skill to learn among the four language skills, especially for IELTS learners. To address this, various researches have given bases on how learners could benefit from learning writing strategies to level up their writing skill prior to writing their own pieces. This paper aimed to report students’ perspectives on the use of collaborative write-aloud to help students identify their preferred writing strategies and improve their writing score in one IELTS classroom. Five IELTS learners were interviewed to collect data which were then analyzed using Thematic Analysis. The findings revealed that collaborative write-aloud helped the students choose effective writing strategies to develop their writing skill
