Many students of the English Department of Semarang State University have used pictures as the media to conduct their research. A research has been done dealing with picture media shows that pictures can help the student in writing. The result shows some students were more attracted, more active, and more interested in studying when they used pictures compared to their behavioral when they did not use those materials. The researcher, Kukuh 2013 shows that the result of the students‘ tests showed that the students‘ mastery was improved. Another research is working on speaking skill dealing with pictures. The result of the study showed that there was a significant improveme nt of students‘ speaking ability after being taught using pictures as media. The improvement between the pre-test to post- test was 25.56 point. The students‘ speaking skill aspects: grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and pronunciation also made a good progress in each test. The next research dealing with pictures is done in elementary school. The researcher found that the average of post test was higher than the pre test. The use of pictures as media works well in guided writing class, especially for the sixth graders. The use of pictures as media influences students‘ motivation and improves the students‘ achievement in guided writing area. In research about descriptive text, Sa‘diyah 2010, as the researcher, indicated that the majority of the students had a positive attitude toward the use of the picture-series to learn descriptive text writing. Moreover, it was found from the observation that the students participated actively in the learning process. Finally, the study also proved that the st rategy improved the students‘ writing with their average score increased from 56.86 0-100 scale prior to the teaching- learning process to 77.87 at the end of the treatment. From those statements above, we can conclude that picture as learning media can i mprove students‘ ability in writing descriptive text. Picture can stimulate students‘ thinking. It also helps students in gaining idea and constructing their idea directed to the topics. The pictures can help students in constructing idea and helping to start writing text. The students are more attracted, more active, and more interested in studying when they use pictures.
