However, along to the fast-changing era where different circumstances have taken place, the handbook should be altered and inserted by particular contemporary issues and delivered with practical teaching techniques. The research is endeavored to revisiting the current basic writing handbook by considering several important issues related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and applying new teaching techniques of Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) and Positive Language Formula (PLF). By conducting a convergent mixed-method research design with correlational and narrative analyses, the research was designed to find out the correlation between the use of PWIM and PLF to the students’ writing performance; and equally to identify several unique results that supported the correlation results. This study involved basic writing lecturers and 103 students of the second year in the academic year of 2019/2020 in a private university located in Jakarta.

Narratively, the research exposed a lot of excitement and benefits for both lecturers and students in developing a comprehensive outcome of Basic Writing learning through the combining PWIM and PLF.
