The only way to teach language is by creating environment which will make the development of the target language easy to master by the learners since it has been said that language cannot be taught (Dana et al., 2013). Writing is the most difficult of the four language skills and it is not easy to acquire especially in second language situation. Teaching writing skills in Nigeria and around Asia is faced with many problems and in the process of learning it students are prone to difficulties using the traditional method in the classroom teaching becomes passive and the classroom activities become monotonous.
