    [abstract] => This study explored strategies to enhance the academic writing abilities of senior high school students enrolled in an English for Academic and Professional Purposes (EAPP) course in the Philippines. Guided by Vygotsky’s Social Constructivist Theory, the research focused on how peer interaction, guided writing exercises, and vocabulary building could improve students' writing skills. Using a mixed-method design, 30 students were assessed before and after a five-week intervention targeting common writing difficulties such as organizing ideas, vocabulary selection, and grammar accuracy. Results showed significant improvements, with average scores rising from 62.3% to 81.8%, particularly in organization and vocabulary usage, both increasing by 21%. Qualitative feedback highlighted increased confidence, appreciation of peer collaboration, and the value of structured support through guided activities. Despite overall progress, grammar remained a challenging area for some students, indicating the need for ongoing focused practice. The findings suggest that combining social learning methods with targeted exercises effectively enhances writing performance, aligns with curriculum goals, and prepares students for academic and professional communication demands. Recommendations include breaking down writing tasks into manageable steps, fostering peer review opportunities, and providing continuous, constructive feedback to support steady skill development and confidence building.
