The samples were divided into two groups which consist of Malay Students Group (KPM) and Non-Malay Students Group (KPBM) with each having forty students. The students were given a pre-test to gauge their standard of writing Argumentative Composition. After that, the students were taught the LKM 400 Course (Bahasa Malaysia IV) and the content of the course covers the learning of grammatical rules, types of composition and the effective writing methodology.
