PTeacher professionalism development in teaching career requires documents dealing with scientific writing published in a journal. It was found that the article published by the English teachers in East Lombok district was still small in number and one of the factors causing this was the teachers’ lack of knowledge and skill in writing. Considering this problem, there needs to be of any assistance for the teachers in coping with their writing problems. This civil service program was to assist and develop the teachers’ competence in writing a journal article. Lectures, discussions, and group work were employed within the program taking place in Senior High School 2 Aikmel East Lombok and there were 25 teachers participating in this program.
